The Greek Golden Visa establishes itself as one of the best in the world

According to the report “Investment Migration Programs 2025”, Greece’s Golden Visa program stands out for its attractive combination of quality of life, visa-free access, efficient processes and competitive total costs.

After nine years of Portuguese dominance in this index, Greece now ranks first, followed closely by Switzerland (72 points), leaving Portugal , Italy and the United Kingdom in third place with 70 points each.

The ranking evaluates 26 residency programs based on key factors such as reputation, regulatory compliance, investment requirements, taxation, and processing time. This comprehensive approach allows investors to identify options with concrete financial and strategic benefits.

Factors that make Greece a preferred choice

Greece's rise in the index is due to multiple strengths:

• Accessibility and simplicity of the process: The Greek Golden Visa allows you to obtain residency through a minimal real estate investment, without physical residency requirements.
• Quality of life and European environment: Living in or having access to Greece means enjoying stability, European infrastructure, and an attractive cultural environment.
• Fiscal benefits: The program offers opportunities for efficient tax planning, especially for those who choose not to reside permanently in the country.
• Family flexibility: Residence permits are extended to spouses, dependent children and, in some cases, parents, without the need for additional visas.

Global trends: a diversification strategy

The report also highlights unprecedented growth in interest in international mobility programs. By 2025, it is estimated that more than 142.000 high-net-worth individuals will migrate to another country—a record number that continues to rise from previous years.

This phenomenon, driven by global volatility and the desire for greater geopolitical flexibility, has generated strong demand for programs like Greece's Golden Visa program. Investors are seeking options that mitigate jurisdictional risks and allow them to optimize their personal and financial security.

Europe, epicenter of global mobility

Greece's leadership and the continued presence of other European countries among the top spots confirm Europe as the epicenter of residency and citizenship by investment programs.

These schemes have become strategic tools for governments—as a source of income and talent attraction—as well as for families and individuals seeking stability, global access, and asset protection.
