Greek immigrants pass good news, permanent residence approval optimization speed!
Permanent residence is expected to speed up
According to reports, the Greek Deputy Minister of Finance Scalakias said in a conference call held in the Greek real estate industry that foreign investors will be able to apply for golden visas through agents. This is also one of several important measures that the government will launch in the coming weeks, with the aim of paving the way for the restart of the economy in early May.
This means that as long as the investor signs the POA (Authorization of Attorney), the authorized lawyer can complete the application of the blue paper (temporary permanent residence proof document) or even the residence card on behalf of the client, without the need for investors to land in Greece.
Scalakias also said: "The government is planning to carry out all necessary activities, services and businesses to attract more overseas buyers to invest in Greece. At the same time, we will also strive to eliminate the current bureaucracy in the real estate market and accelerate. The pace is to attract as many foreign investors as possible at a faster rate than before the outbreak." He also said that the government expects to seek a special agreement allow faster vetting of applications from overseas investors to invest in the Greek property market."
This sends an important signal: the 2020 Greek immigration policy will continue to be implemented around the 250,000 euros standard, and at the same time, the approval process will be more convenient.
In the light of the current outbreak, many people will be worried about Greek immigrants. Is Greece still able to handle immigration? Does the coronavirus have any significant impact on the Greek economy?
Thanks to a series of measures that the Greek government has deployed ahead of schedule, the number of confirmed cases in Greece is only 2,506, no cases have skyrocketed, and there have been no medical runs. The prevention and control results are obvious, and it can be called a "model student" of the EU's hardcore epidemic prevention.
What the Greek government did in the outbreak?
When the first positive case occurred, the Greek Minister of Health immediately canceled the planned national carnival event; when the first death occurred, the government immediately closed the theater, cinema, restaurant, bar, shopping center, playground, Museums, parks and other public places prone to crowds.
The Greek government has announced a new round of tax cuts and economic aid plans to buffer the economic pressure on companies and workers from the state blockade triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. It is expected to increase 12 billion euros to help companies and employees through the crisis.
The specific content includes:
A total of 800 million euros in relief was paid to 1.7 million workers across the country, while the debt repayment period was extended by 4 months; the Easter bonus was guaranteed again, and all private employees will be paid in full; if the employees are temporarily suspended, the state will pay them Bonuses; an additional budget of 5 billion euros to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic; suspension of VAT and overdue tax payments for 800,000 enterprises and expansion of financial assistance to freelancers.
In order to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the outbreak, the Greek government has also introduced a series of measures to help enterprises and individuals: during the outbreak, for any commercial industry that the government forced to close, the operator's rent can be reduced by 40%, including retail store owners and employees. The rent can be reduced by 40%, and current employees and individual retail operators can receive a subsidy of 800 euros.
With the efforts of the Greek government, the epidemic prevention effect in Greece is also obvious to all. The number of newly diagnosed coronavirus in Greece has been steadily declining in recent days. Compared with the development of the coronavirus in other European countries, the coronavirus in Greece is clearly under control earlier. Under the strict policies of the Greek government, the coronavirus will be over more quickly, the economic activities and daily work life will recover more quickly.
At the same time, the success of Greece is also inseparable from the cooperation of the people. They have shown an admirable sense of social responsibility and become a model for European countries to fight against coronavirus.
It can be seen that Greece is still a great choice for most people, whether it is to choose investment or living life. Again, in order to prevent policy tightening after the epidemic, please seize the opportunity.
