Some Property Options In Chania, Crete

Athens City Center & Properties

Athens is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a remarkable recorded history of over 3,400 years. Acropolis, the ‘holy rock’ where the symbol of Democracy prevails - the Parthenon, stands out at the city center, along with the new Acropolis Museum as well as other museums and monuments giving the feeling of the ‘Golden Era of Athens’ back in time. Athens is a city that doesn’t sleep, with an abundance of choices when it comes to dining, seeing, doing and enjoying. There are also several modern shopping malls and areas offering the best brands but local choice too.

Athens can be very relaxed by walking around its picturesque little streets and parks, it can also feel like one is in a Greek island due to the amazing sandy beaches a bit out of Athens, but it can also feel like a big hectic city.

At the center of Athens, most of the cultural and artistic facilities such as theaters, galleries, music and concert halls are gathered. Living in the city center offers a modern lifestyle having all the amenities nearby and a wide selection of shops, museums, and restaurants.

Why Investors Choose Athens City Center To Buy Property?

• Well, first, the city center seems the easiest option. So for the not very risk takers, and for the easy-going ones, the city center is a good option.
• The city always never loses demand and it can easily be given to a company to rent too. So stable rental yields too.
• Quality? Well, the center being so dense, consequently it means ‘hard to find space’, and therefore the properties we have available most likely will be small and older buildings and/or renovated ones turn to modern space/residences.

In the city center, Athens property sales are moving fast; also the local market is active and Greek people are buying and selling properties, it is also a student market as so many Greek Universities are found in Athens. Therefore, a student is always very convenient to reside in the center having a small Athens property.

Properties In Athens - Southern Provinces

The most demanded areas of Athens are probably the southern ones, those are: from north to south:

Paleo Faliro, Alimos, Elliniko, Glyfada, Voula. Many foreigners including Chinese buyers, Arabs, Russians, and Greeks too, are looking for a property solution that combines, easy access to the centre of Athens but at the same time close to the beach, to have a better lifestyle; so that after work, to have an easy way out to the beach for relaxation.

Those neighborhoods, each one has its own center, and all amenities and facilities as in the city center (banks, post offices, municipalities centers, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, schools etc. Each of these areas has a metro station and other public transports, so it depends on the exact address within the neighborhood of this province and how close they are at a Metro station. It is very easy to find a taxi and usually, the cost is approx. €10-15.)

So, Why A Client May Choose the Southern Areas?

• Mainly for what we described above, these are the new areas of Athens, therefore one can find new modern properties with upgraded finishes, AND, a lifestyle which combines easy access to the center and to the beach.
• Glyfada, being the chicest area of Luxurious Athens Properties, has a reputation of class and glamorous living, therefore prices are the highest. Newly buildings are priced from €3.500 per m² - €6.000. Further, it has become popular to buyout cheap old properties and renovates them to deluxe properties, as long as they are located in Glyfada. That is, due to the low supply of land in Glyfada and in general in the whole area of Athens.
• Finding bargain deals in Glyfada is non-existent. With the adoption of the PR law, properties have been selling fast and we anticipate the commencement of new buildings.
• For further analysis of Glyfada area, please have a look at the Mega Project of Elliniko (Athens Properties), which it’s bordering with Glyfada and will boost further the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNSz0UGoXec

Snapshot of Santorini Property market:

Why Invest In Santorini Properties? - Santorini Property Insight Market Info

• High Rental Yields: Perhaps Santorini property market is one of the top rental yield performer markets in Europe! Yes... true.. just take a look how much the rooms are selling in different touristic sites i.e. booking.com, expedia.. and consequently, that makes the supply of sellable properties so low, which drives the property prices so high (basic economics, supply vs. demand). Therefore, Santorini property owners wish to keep their Santorini properties and put them on rent, and especially the daily rents and not the long-term annually rents! Which this, creates another problem in Santorini, big shortage of long-term rental housing units; the tourism of Santorini has been booming over the last 15 years and has brought up new economics to the island as well as demographics with more Athenians and other Greek people moving permanently to island for work and business opportunities.
• Difficulty to issue new Hotel Building Licenses In Santorini
• Very limited to nonexistent new project developments: however, our research shows that it’s easier to find land for sale then properties
• Chinese Tourists expanded the island’s summer season to a Year All Round island!
• Higher entertainment expenses compared with the rest of Greece (the island of Santorini can be compared to Mykonos)
• High Demand for Long-term Rental Units in Santorini! Great opportunity here, for land Developers.
• Peculiar property market and rates for rooms, depending on the location, property selling prices vary from €1750/m² in Monolithos area to €10.000+/m² in Oia and Caldera views!

Greece Permanent Residence Permit

Greek Permanent Residence Permit

( "Greece Permanent Residence Permit" and "Schengen Visa" to non-EU Nationals with the purchase of Property with minimum value 250,000Euros)

The Greece permanent residence permit program enables an entire non-EU family, including dependent children up to age 24 and the parents of both spouses, to obtain permanent residency status in Greece within just 3 months (in some areas it takes less time) with a real estate investment of just €250,000. It is the most competitive permanent residency scheme in Europe.

Permanent residency in Greece enables visa-free travel to all countries of the Schengen zone, for up to 90 days in each 6 months period. It also offers an insurance policy for the future ensuring you always have a second place to call home. Recent legislation changes now enable PR holders to apply for Greece (EU) citizenship as well.

"Permanent residency offers your family the freedom to live freely in the EU and to travel with ease, it provides access to excellent education and health care, or simply offers an insurance policy for an uncertain future."

KEY FEATURES:

• Includes dependent children up to age 24 (initially the age of a child shouldn't exceed 21, then s/he can extend till the 24th year of age)
• Includes the parents of both spouses
• 3 month processing time (in some areas it takes less time, i.e. Chania, Crete in 10 days)
• Gives the right to apply for EU citizenship
• Visa-free travel within the Schengen zone

Permanent residency status means that your family has the right to live freely in Greece or continue to live in your home country and use the permit whenever you need it. Greece is a superb base for traveling throughout Europe with its excellent flight connections to Europe and the rest of the world. Additionally, it offers a high quality of life, including modern medical facilities, shopping, natural beauty, sports, cultural events, a warm climate, and many private schools and universities with English as a teaching language. As a PR holder, you are able to enjoy the same health and education rights as Greek nationals.

WHO QUALIFIES?

The residency permit applies to the investor, their spouse, unmarried dependent children up to age 24 and the dependent parents of both spouses. The permit is permanent as long as the buyer keeps possession and is renewed every 5 years by presenting to the authority the title deed of the property. Obtaining permanent residency and eventually, EU citizenship offers a legacy to your and later your children’s families.

THE INVESTMENT

The Greece program requires a real estate investment of €250,000 (net of vat). The investment can be made in land, off-plan, new or resale properties as long as the minimum value is met. Investors have the right to sell the property before the expiration of 5 years to another foreign citizen, who can also apply for permanent residency, however, the original investor must forfeit his permit to do so.

1. In cases of joint ownership, where the value of the property is €250.000, the residence permit is only granted if the owners are spouses with undivided ownership of the property. In all other cases of joint ownership, the residence permit is only granted if the amount invested by each of the joint owners is at least €250.000.
2. If the owner has acquired the property through a legal entity, the applicant must own 100% of the company shares.
3. Either single or multiple properties with a combined value exceeding €250,000 are applicable.

GREEK CITIZENSHIP

Permanent residents have the right to apply for Greek citizenship after living in Greece for 7 years, in accordance with legal provisions. Their children may apply if:

1. they attend any Greek school for 9 years, or
2. they attend a Greek secondary school for 6 years, or
3. they attend a Greek University.

An EU citizen is free to live, work, travel, receive healthcare or pursue education anywhere within the EU, including the UK. In fact, travel benefits extend way beyond Europe with Greek passport holders being able to travel visa-free to an extensive list of countries.

GREEK PERMANENT RESIDENT PERMIT FOR INVESTORS

Greece Goden Visa Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

1. I am a third country national and I own or I wish to purchase property in Greece, as an individual. Can I apply for a residence permit in Greece?

Yes, you have the right to apply for a residence permit for owners of real estate property, provided the value of the property in Greece , as referred to in the contract of purchase, is at least €250.000.

This residence permit (Article 20B, Law 4251/2014, as it stands) can be renewed every 5 years provided you are still the owner of the property.

2. I am a third country national who has obtained the 5-year “permanent residence permit for investors”, as I am the owner of a €250.000 property in Greece. Do I have the right to sell the property and maintain the residence permit?

Yes, you can sell the property, but in order to maintain the residence permit and prior to selling this one, you should have purchased another property fulfilling the same requirements (Article 20B, Law 4251/2014).

3. Which is the pertinent legislation that provides for the “permanent residence permit for investors”?

The pertinent provisions for the residence permit for real estate owners are:

· Article 20B, Law 4251/2014 (Official Government Gazette A’ 80),

· Article 8, paragraphs 26-30 and Article 14, paragraph 1, Law 4332/2015 (Official Government Gazette A’ 76).

· Article 3 paragraphs 2-3, Law 4587/2018 (Official Government Gazette A '218 / 24.12.2018).

· Article 68, Law 4589/2019 (Official Government Gazette A '13 / 29.01.2019)

4. How can I make the payment for the property purchase?

Article 20B, Law 4251/2014, as amended with Article 14, paragraph 1, Law 4332/2015 stipulates that:

"The amount is paid by a crossed cheque or with a deposit of a bank transfer in the bank account of the recipient kept at a bank in Greece or in a credit institution under the supervision of the Bank of Greece, the particular details of which should be declared by the contracting parties before the notary public drafting the contract and be included therein."

The total amount for the property must have been paid only in one of these two ways (crossed cheque or bank transfer deposit) in order for the third country national to be eligible for this type of residence permit under the aforementioned provisions.

The new law 4635/2019 especially for Chinese investors facilitates the payment method and allows payments by friends and relatives. It also allows payment by POS.

5. Which is the procedure I have to follow?

The procedure that you have to follow, if you have already purchased or you intend to purchase a property in Greece , is the following:

Step 1:

Visit the Greek Consulate in your place of residence and apply for a visa to enter Greece (visa type C, or type D where appropriate).

Visa requirements either of type C, or of national visa type D, can be found at the website of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The documents required specifically for a visa in case the purchase has not been concluded yet, are to be found in the Joint Ministerial Decision 68019/2015 (Official Government Gazette B’ 2272).

Also, see below, FAQ n. 6.

In case you are a national of a third country exempted from the visa obligation, by virtue of Regulation (EC) 539/2001, you can enter Greece with an “entry stamp” on your passport, by the competent border control authority.

Step 2:

When you hold the appropriate visa or the “entry stamp” on your passport (due to exemption of a visa type C by virtue of Regulation (EC)539/2001), you can enter Greece and apply immediately for a residence permit, after all the procedures for the property purchase have been finalized.

In any case, you have to apply for a residence permit while your visa is valid.

In case the property purchase is not yet finalized and your visa expires, prior to applying for a residence permit, you have to leave the country and obtain a new visa after a period three months (as dictated by the Schengen acquis).

To check whether you need to apply for a visa, on the basis of your country of origin, in order to travel to Greece or not, you should consult the relevant list at the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, available.

In case you hold a national visa by the Greek Consular Authorities in your place of residence, a declaration that your family status has not changed is required.

Additionally, the required supporting documents, as in all cases, are:

· Four (4) recent colour photographs, of the same technical requirements as passport photographs, also in JPEG200 file format on a compact disk.

In particular, the photograph and digital image should be:

a) in color

b) taken within the last month so as to reflect your current appearance,

c) sized 4X6cm (without frame),

d) printed on high quality photograph white paper, no watermarked or embossed,

e) of high resolution not raster or pixel images and not printed on inkjet or laser printers;

· Certified copy of a valid passport or travel documents recognized by Greece and with the relevant valid entry visa, where required;

· A residence permit electronic fee (€500 for a five-year permit), Code 4741, to be acquired pursuant to Article 132, Law 4251/2014.

Minor children are exempted from this fee;

· Cost of single document permit €16, Code 4762, to be acquired ;

· Private health insurance policy according to required coverage, either concluded in the applicant’s country of origin to provide coverage for the whole length of stay in Greece, or is concluded in Greece for coverage as prescribed in JMD n.53821/2014.

13.Do I have the right to apply for “permanent residence permit for investor” if I personally own more than one properties?

Yes, you have. You are entitled to residency rights irrespectively of whether you own one or more properties in Greece , provided that their value is equal to or greater than €250.000, as mentioned in the purchase contracts and the amount has been paid in one of the two prescribed ways.

14. Do I have the right to work if I am granted the “permanent residence permit for investor”?

No, you do not. This residence permit does not give right to access to any type of employment, according to, Article 20, paragraph 6, Law 4251/2014.

Employment in this case does not include the exercise of economic activity in the capacity of a shareholder or Chief Executive Officer of companies established before your application for this residence permit.

This exemption for economic activity refers to third country citizens who are shareholders or managers of all forms of capital companies (S.A., Ltd, Private limited companies).

The family members that have been granted this residence permit have also restricted access to employment.

15. I have a visa or a “permanent residence permit for investor”. Do I have the right to travel to other EU countries ?

Yes, you have. Due to the principle of equality between residence permits and long-term visas, all third country citizens holders of residence permits issued in one EU member state, or a long-term visa, enjoy the right of free movement within the Schengen area, which means that they are able to travel to other member states for up to 3 months within a 6 month period under the same conditions as those who are holders of residence permits. In addition, they have also the right to multiple entries in the country.

16. As a holder of “permanent residence permit for investor” may I apply for long-term residence status or citizenship?

Yes, you can. According to Article 8, paragraph 30, Law 4332/2015, the third country citizen has the right to apply for the long-term resident status, provided they fulfil the conditions of Articles 89 and 90, Law 4251/2014. Having been granted the long-term residence status is a prerequisite in order to apply for Greek citizenship by naturalization, provided all other requirements are fulfilled.

The District Of Limassol

Limassol is both a commercial center and a base for many of the island's offshore companies and a popular resort with ten miles of coastline. Limassol is the home of two major annual festivals that bring visitors from all over Cyprus and abroad.

The pre-Lent Carnival launches the long summer season, with a fancy dress parade, decorated floats and festivities.

The second celebration is the Wine Festival held in September, marking the city's importance as the center of the wine industry.

Limassol is also the island's biggest port for both freight and passengers and is the largest ship management center in the world, with revenues representing a significant portion of the country's income, underlining Cyprus's maritime heritage.

The city has much to offer the holidaymaker, with some of the finest hotels in Cyprus, many are four and five star rated. The tavernas in the old part of the town are full of Cypriot character, while restaurants, tavernas and nightlife line the coastal road.
