It is crucial to keep in mind that the second passport does not mean that you are a resident or rights for citizens. The rights granted to citizen vary from those who are residents. Citizens have many advantages, such as enhanced visa-free travel as well as the right to vote in elections.

For the country that hosts it, CBI schemes for the host country CBI program could be beneficial since it could bring in an influx of capital, which can boost the economy. Some countries also offer particular tax advantages for residents, including lower income taxes as well as capital gains tax.

This kind of investment is an excellent option to show gratitude to a nation that welcomes its citizens with open arms, and offers you citizenship.

Although there was a wide consensus that these non-refundable payments are to be accounted for as a value transfer to the government however, there was no consensus regarding whether the contribution is to be classified as taxes or any other transfer that is currently in effect. Most respondents supported guidelines based on conventions which could allow for an uniform approach across different economies. The arguments in favor of classifying tax payments were mostly focused on their impact on taxpayers (i.e. the benefits they get) instead of their economic value.

Its capital is Athens, and the official language spoken is Greek although English is spoken by many of the locals. Greece adopted the euro as its official currency in 2001, meaning that it was one of the first countries to make use of the euro banknotes and coins.

The country presents unique investment opportunities through business development models that promote its competitive advantages and investment potential in various sectors of production. Sectors such as ICT, energy, life sciences, export-oriented manufacturing and logistics are sectors which receive favourable consideration in terms of investment opportunities.

With a new vision for development, Greece aims to attract foreign direct investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, tourism, agriculture and other sectors through flexible and fast administrative procedures, and by promoting its natural resources, well-educated human capital and other unique comparative advantages in the broader South-eastern European region.

The investment activity may be implemented through the construction of new facilities (greenfield investments) or business acquisitions, restructuring as well as expansion of current activities (brownfield investments), provided that it has a positive impact on the national economy. Residence permits offered to investors and executives can be renewed every five years, as long as they maintain their position in relation to the investment and the investment continues to be active. Furthermore, up to 10 residence permits may be made available for investors and executives, depending on the scale of the investment.

In Greece, a new economy is in the making. In parallel, investment opportunities are abundant and attractive, in a wide variety of sectors. Greece’s massive reform efforts are opening new investment frontiers that reward both first movers and established players. The next decade is set to see sustained growth in tourism, ICT, energy, environmental sciences, food, beverage and agriculture, logistics, and life sciences. An outward-looking economy that is focused on long-term growth means that investors can look forward to highly favourable returns. As a member of the European Union and the Eurozone, Greece continues to be the economic hub of Southeast Europe, an ideal gateway to the Middle East, Western Europe, and North Africa, and an emerging logistics hub for the entire region.

Commitment expectations

To apply for permanent residence through the GPRP, one of the following commitments is required:

Own real estate property in Greece, either personally or through a 100% owned, legal entity based in Greece or another EU member state. This may also include a plot of land or acreage together with the construction of a building. The total minimum value of the investment must be of EUR 250,000; or

A lease agreement for a minimum of 10 years, for hotel accommodations or furnished tourist residences in integrated tourist resorts, including timeshare agreements as per Law 1652/1986 provided the minimum cost of the lease is EUR 250,000; or

A minimum investment of EUR 250,000 in Greece, either personally or through a 100% owned, legal entity based in Greece or another EU member state. Investment activity may include the construction of new facilities (greenfield investments) or business acquisitions, restructuring or expansion of current activities (brownfield investments). Investment projects must have a positive impact on national development and the economy through factors such as job creation, promotion of domestic resources and vertical integration of domestic production, export orientation, innovation and adoption of new technology;

Further to this, the amount of government-related administrative fees is approximately EUR 2,516 for a single main applicant, and an additional EUR 150 for every adult dependent. Minor dependents are exempt from such fees.

Furthermore, if the real estate route is chosen, one may expect additional fees amounting to approximately 8% of the property’s value to cover typical expenses such as notary fees, new ownership registration, residency permit vouchers, insurance, stamp duty, translations, legal fees for the property transfer and residency permit, and legal checks of the property. An additional 3% Property Transfer Tax or 24% VAT, should also be expected based on various parameters.

This means that the total capital outlay for a single applicant through the real estate route, is approximately EUR 280,166 including the investment, government fees, typical expenses for the acquisition of the real estate and Property Transfer Tax. This indicative amount excludes service providers’ professional fees and any other statutory taxes.

The Application Process

The application process typically commences with the signing of a power of attorney with a service provider to facilitate the liaison with the different stakeholders. This is followed by a visit to the Greek Consulate in your place of residence to apply for a visa to enter Greece (visa type C, or type D where appropriate).

Once you enter Greece, you can apply immediately for a residence permit, after all the procedures for the property purchase have been finalized. In any case, you must apply for a residence permit while your visa is valid. Once the application is submitted, the Greek authorities issue a receipt of application, which may be used as a temporary permit prior to residency being granted.

An appointment at the Decentralized Authority will be required, for the purpose of biometric data collection. Approximately, 2 months from submission the authorities are usually able to issue the residence permit.

The Golden Visa Controversy: Golden Gates or Pandora's Box?

The allure of expedited residency or citizenship in exchange for hefty investments holds undeniable appeal. This is the premise behind Golden Visa programs, offered by several countries, including Portugal, Spain, and Greece. But beneath the golden glimmer lies a murky terrain of controversy, raising questions about fairness, security, and societal impact. Let's delve into the world of Golden Visas, illuminating the pros, cons, and the ongoing debate surrounding them. The Golden Visa Controversy: Golden Gates or Pandora's Box? The Glittering Facade: Benefits of Golden Visas - Fast-tracked Residency or Citizenship: For high-net-worth individuals, Golden Visas offer a quicker path to residency or even citizenship, compared to traditional immigration processes. - Economic Boost: The influx of investments associated with Golden Visas can inject capital into the host country's economy, potentially creating jobs and stimulating growth. - Global Mobility: Golden Visas often grant access to the Schengen zone, allowing unrestricted travel within participating European countries. - Investment Diversification: For investors, diversifying their assets abroad can offer risk management and potential tax benefits. The Tarnished Underside: Concerns and Criticisms - Fueling Inequality: Critics argue that Golden Visas exacerbate wealth inequality, favoring the affluent over ordinary immigrants who navigate longer and more arduous pathways. - Money Laundering Risks: Concerns around lax due diligence processes create loopholes for individuals with ill-gotten gains, potentially jeopardizing national security and financial stability. - Impact on Housing Markets: Increased demand from foreign investors can drive up housing prices, making them less affordable for local residents. - Limited Community Integration: Critics argue that Golden Visa holders contribute minimally to the local community, often residing in gated communities without meaningful integration. The Debate Heats Up: A Global Conversation - Policy Tightening: Several countries like Portugal and Spain are reviewing and tightening their Golden Visa programs, introducing stricter requirements and higher investment thresholds. - Transparency Calls: Increased scrutiny demands greater transparency in program operations, due diligence processes, and the source of investment funds. - Balancing Act: Policymakers seek to balance the economic benefits of Golden Visas with mitigating risks and ensuring fairness and societal integration. The Future of Golden Visas: An Uncertain Trajectory The future of Golden Visas remains uncertain. While they offer potential benefits, the associated controversies cannot be ignored. As the debate continues, we can expect stricter regulations, increased transparency, and a focus on ensuring these programs align with broader societal values and promote inclusive growth. Remember, the story of Golden Visas is more than just glistening passports and exotic investment opportunities. It's a complex saga interwoven with economic aspirations, ethical concerns, and the quest for a balanced approach to global mobility and investment. Only time will tell what shape this narrative will take in the years to come. Read the full article

Embrace a Home Away from Home with the Golden Visa

Have you ever considered the most effective way to live in a foreign country without the need for a job or a sponsor? The Golden Visa offers this opportunity, allowing individuals to obtain it through investments in real estate or business development. Recently, the scope of the Golden Visa has expanded to include various eligibility categories such as investors, business owners, scientists, outstanding students, recent graduates, humanitarians, and frontline heroes.

A noteworthy addition to the Golden Visa category in the UAE now encompasses individuals with exceptional talents, such as artists, medical professionals, and sports experts, who can obtain this visa without a financial investment. To be eligible, these individuals must have received recognition and certification from authorized national or international entities, gained media or critical acclaim, and possess a recommendation letter, among other qualifications.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has emerged as a top choice for those seeking the Golden Visa worldwide. Comprising seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi as the capital, the UAE grants individuals the right to reside, work, and study in the country for a period of 5 to 10 years, with the option to renew upon expiration. Prolonged stays may even lead to eligibility for UAE citizenship, though this process demands specific criteria like learning the local language, Arabic, and engaging with the local community. Golden Visa holders also enjoy benefits like the ability to sponsor their family members, including spouses and children, to live in the UAE.

Several countries offer Golden Visas to qualifying individuals, including Greece, Spain, Malta, Canada, Cyprus, Switzerland, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Hungary, the United States, and more. These programs have gained popularity in recent years as countries aim to attract foreign investment and bolster their economies. However, they are also subject to scrutiny and criticism, as they can potentially be misused for money laundering or tax evasion. As a result, some countries have implemented stricter regulations and due diligence procedures for these programs.

Conversely, the Netherlands is set to discontinue its Golden Visa program starting in January 2024, as announced by the Netherlands' Immigration and Naturalization Service (NLS). Initially implemented to foster economic growth, this program required individuals to invest at least EURO 1,250,000 in business development rather than real estate, but it has now been suspended.

It's important to note that the rules and regulations for golden visa programs can change frequently, and eligibility requirements and benefits may vary widely between countries. Therefore, individuals considering a golden visa should thoroughly research the specific program they are interested in and seek professional advice if necessary. VisaMint Overseas Services can assist you with immigration formalities.
