The original 250,000 euros rose to 500,000 euros in coastal hot areas and areas with high housing pressure;

In the eyes of many people, as long as Greece is mentioned, it will always think of it as a poor and backward bankrupt country, and there are not too many European countries that are better than it, and there are still many people rushing to immigrate to live in the past? It is true that from 1826 to 2015, Greece went bankrupt a total of 7 times, but after all, Greece is a developed country, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Greece's GDP in 2022 is only 192.1 billion euros, but its per capita GDP will be as high as 20,000 US dollars in 2021, ranking 31.

As of the beginning of 2023, the number of Chinese applicants approved remains the first, with a total of 6,258, accounting for 62% of the global application volume. In addition to Chinese, even Americans have shown a crazy attitude towards getting ** visas through home purchases, and the number of investors in the United States who passed ** visas in 2022 increased by 740% compared to 2021. Not only that, Greece is also one of the first countries to implement a social welfare system, including childcare, education, medical retirement, and immigrants to Greece can enjoy the most basic public education and medical care. **Spending on health care is about 10% of GDP1% is much higher than in other developed countries. Education in Greece is free of charge in public schools, and private schools are taught in English, and the cost of education is much lower than that of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. The most important thing is that Greece is very cheap to apply for immigration status, and now submit an application, you can also enjoy the 250,000 euros (non-price increase area) house purchase immigration policy, after getting the green card, children can take the joint examination for overseas Chinese students, and can easily enter 985 211 schools such as Qingbei with lower scores, simpler exam questions, and less competitive pressure.
