Residency By Investment 

Greece Golden Visa

The Greece Golden Visa program launched back in July 2013, granting a 5-year residency visa in return for a real estate investment. No minimum stay is required in this case, and children (up to age 21) are covered in the family application.

This visa must be renewed every 5 years (provided the property investment is retained), and one is not required to live in the country to retain/renew an investor visa. Citizenship is only granted following 7 years of residency.

 

BENEFITS
Greece boasts one of the most cost-effective European Golden Visa programs; one primary benefit is that applicants are granted permanent residency within the country after just a few months following a real estate investment of at least €250,000.

A Greek residency permit enables one to live, work, and/or study in Greece, although this is not a Golden Visa program prerequisite. As Greece enjoys Schengen Zone status, Greek residents can travel without a visa throughout the Zone and spend up to 90 days (every 180 days) therein.

Key Benefits

  • Quick residency permit processing
  • Low government and renewal fees
  • Owning Greek real estate can help diversify one’s assets
  • Visa-free travel throughout the EU Schengen Zone

UAE Golden Visa Procedures and Timeline

UAE residence applications must include a completed form and be accompanied by the appropriate fees/supporting documents. Golden Residence visas are valid for 10 years before they’re due for renewal. Residing beyond UAE borders does not nullify the visa, and residents must hold investments for at least 3 years.
After initial due diligence checks are completed and the retainer is paid, UAE residence applications can be submitted for government approval.
After all requirements are fulfilled and pending initial application approval, successful applicants will receive a 6-month multiple-entry visa and then travel to the UAE to apply for an ID card and engage in a healthcare screening. When full approval is granted thereafter, the client will receive his/her residence visa.
Expect residence application processing time to extend beyond 8 weeks.
