Greece: An Attractive Destination for Investment and Travel – The Power of the Greek Passport and the Golden Visa Program

By 12/02/2023 No Comments

 

Greece has been undergoing a major resurgence in recent years, with a renewed interest in its rich history, stunning landscapes, and world-renowned hospitality. This resurgence is reflected in the country’s economy, with a significant growth in both international investments and tourism. The recent release of the World Economic Forum’s list of the world’s most powerful passports, combined with the soaring number of Golden Visa applications in Q4 of 2022, further demonstrates Greece’s growing importance on the world stage.

The Greek passport ranks 8th on the list of the world’s most powerful passports, with access to 186 countries visa-free or with visa-on-arrival. This is a significant improvement from recent years and demonstrates the continued efforts of the Greek government to strengthen its diplomatic relations with other nations. The strong position of the Greek passport on this list is a testament to the growing global recognition of Greece as a destination for travel and investment.

International investments in Greece have been on the rise in recent years, with a focus on real estate, infrastructure, and tourism. Greece’s strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, make it an attractive destination for both tourists and investors. In addition, the Greek government has implemented a number of measures to encourage foreign investment, including the “Golden Visa” program. The program has been particularly successful in recent months, with applications soaring in Q4 of 2022.

 

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has emphasized the importance of foreign investment in Greece, stating that the country is now an attractive destination for foreign investments. The Greek government has been working to streamline investment processes, making it easier and more efficient for foreign investors to invest in Greece. This, combined with the country’s rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and welcoming spirit, has made Greece an increasingly attractive destination for people from around the world.

 

For Greek citizens, the improved ranking of the Greek passport means greater opportunities for travel and exploration. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, the ability to enter 186 countries visa-free or with visa-on-arrival can make traveling easier and more convenient. With the rise of international investments in Greece, the country is becoming an increasingly accessible and attractive destination for people from around the world.

 

Greece is a growing destination for investment and travel, with the improved ranking of the Greek passport and the soaring number of Golden Visa applications reflecting the country’s growing importance on the world stage.
