Immigration to Greece is gaining more and more popularity in recent years. The reasons for this are obvious: a healthy climate, hospitable people, Orthodox traditions. In the past, somewhat closed legislation in Greece is now rapidly turning to face immigrants, especially the financially secure. Over the past 5 years, laws have been passed that radically changed the situation with immigration and allowed Greece to become the most growing country in this parameter. We can cite the following as examples:

canceled the receipt of permission from the Ministry of Defense for the purchase of real estate by foreigners in most regions of Greece, which made it possible to reduce the processing time of the transaction from 6-8 months to several days

a new residence permit has appeared for real estate buyers from 250,000 euros, which today is the minimum bar in the EU

accelerated procedures for obtaining a residence permit for financially secure individuals and much more ...
