The recent issues with European visas are pushing those with travel plans abroad toward alternative destinations. Those unable to obtain a Schengen visa are first heading to Greece. They are knocking on the doors of EU countries by investing in neighboring countries.
 

TÜRKIYE IS THE COUNTRY WITH THE MOST GOLDEN VISAS IN GREECE AFTER CHINA

Greece, which offers a 'Golden Visa' through real estate acquisition for €250,000 in Piraeus and certain regions, and €500,000 in Athens, has announced its year-end figures. Turkish citizens became the second-largest group to receive Golden Visas in Greece after Chinese citizens. While rental income in euros can be obtained through real estate investments in Greece, the program also grants the right to trade and work in EU countries.
 

THEY OBTAIN RESIDENCY IN GREECE THROUGH THE GOLDEN VISA

Offering great opportunities in real estate, Greece has come under the close watch of Turkish citizens. A significant number of Turks wanting to benefit from the citizenship program, along with their families, are showing intense interest in neighboring Greece. Although talks have accelerated to resolve visa problems with EU countries, Turkish citizens and investors who wish to avoid visa issues are applying to the ‘Golden Visa’ program. Greece, where a €250,000 investment in Piraeus and some other areas and a €500,000 investment in leading cities like Athens grants access to the “Golden Visa,” has released its year-end figures. Turkish citizens who benefited from this program ranked second after Chinese citizens. In 2023, Greece received 7,752 Golden Visa applications, with the total investment value through these applications exceeding €2.3 billion. Greece, which grants residence permits to foreign nationals and investors who purchase property, has been attracting investors lately with the advantages it offers. Investors benefiting from the program can earn euro-based rental income from their real estate investments and even gain the right to trade and work in EU countries.
