With an investment of just €250,000–€500,000 (approximately 8 to 15 billion VND)—the cost of a premium apartment in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City—investors can secure long-term European residency for the entire family. The three standout programs are in Malta, Greece, and Cyprus. These are not just real estate investments; they are strategic packages combining property ownership, legal residency, and educational benefits in one seamless framework.
Importantly, all three programs offer residency without citizenship, no obligation to live in Europe full-time, and no disruption to your life in Vietnam. You can continue living and working in Vietnam, while keeping open the option to live, study, or travel freely in Europe whenever needed.

Malta – The Best Choice for Education
Among the three countries, Malta offers the most education-focused and flexible entry:
Official language of instruction: English
Follows the British education system, with free public education for residents
No property purchase required – you can rent a home and contribute to the government
Total investment starts at €170,000, making it more affordable than Greece or Cyprus if property ownership is not a priority
For families prioritizing an English-speaking, high-quality learning environment without the pressure of relocation, Malta is a compelling, cost-effective, and policy-stable option.
Greece – For Those Who Want Tangible Assets and Freedom of Movement
Greece requires a real estate purchase of €250,000. In return, investors and their families receive residency with:
No income requirements
No minimum stay requirement
Full ownership rights over the property, with the ability to rent it out or hold it long-term
Greece’s residency permit also allows visa-free access to all 29 Schengen countries, and after 7 years, applicants may be eligible for naturalization. With a large community of international investors, a straightforward process, and the lowest entry threshold in the EU, Greece is ideal for those seeking to link residency with real estate assets that can generate passive income or grow in value.
Cyprus – For a Stable, English-Speaking, Family-Friendly Lifestyle
Cyprus requires a minimum investment of €300,000 in new real estate. While not yet a Schengen member, Cyprus has already met most of the technical conditions and is on track to join.
English is widely spoken in private education, healthcare, and business
High-standard EU-quality healthcare and education systems
Peaceful living environment, excellent climate, and stable infrastructure
Cyprus is ideal for families looking for an English-friendly, adaptable environment with long-term growth potential.
If Education Is Your Priority – Timing Is Everything
EU public school systems operate by academic year and have specific enrollment deadlines. Early application ensures your child can start school on time, adjust smoothly, and fully benefit from free education.
Moreover, immigration policies across Europe are becoming stricter. Many programs have already increased investment thresholds or suspended new applications. Taking action now—while conditions remain flexible—will help you minimize policy risk and optimize investment costs.
