After the visa expires, investors need to apply for a renewal. After 7 years of residency, the investor and his family can apply for Greek citizenship (European citizenship).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10646 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa.jpeg\" alt=\"Greek passport\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa-768x427.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa-24x13.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa-32x18.jpeg 32w, https:\/\/porticoandbridge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/visa-48x27.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Benefits of participating in real estate investment in Greece and getting European citizenship<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fast processing time, only 3 &#8211; 6 months<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Get permanent residence for the whole family, including 3 generations: applicant&#8217;s parents, applicant, and children (under 21 years old)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Live and settle in Greece for a long time<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Time to enter the EU within 3 months<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Travel over 169 countries worldwide with Visa-free<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Have the opportunity to naturalize in Greece and become a European citizen<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No language test, no business requirement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Free medical care and preferential tuition fees<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Conditions for participating in Greece settlement program<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The applicant is not a citizen of the European Union and is over 18 years old.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Invest at least EUR 250,000 in real estate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The investment must be maintained for the length of time that the permanent resident card is requested.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Greek Residence Card is renewed every 5 years as long as the property is still owned.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The applicant has a clean judicial record and has health insurance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as the emerald island, Greece is a country with long-term potential for economic development.
