Greece
The Greek passport is ranked as the 4th strongest passport in the world when it comes to residency by investment. Known as The Golden Visa Program, Greece’s residence by investment program, was established since 2013 allowing non-EU citizens to receive an EU Residence Permit in exchange for investments in Greece’s real estate.
Greece’s cosmopolitan cities, Mediterranean climate and attractive real estate has lured high net worth individuals into making this country their second home.
