希腊内政部总书记 (Greek General Secretary of Ministry of Interiors ) Mr. Angelos Syrigos近日宣布未来希腊的“购房移民”政策走向以及变动如下:
Parents of investors will also be eligiblefor the RP. They will remove the restriction of getting Greek nationality byapplying for Rp as it exists today. This means that under certain conditions RPholders will also be able to get Greek Passport. They will change the title ofRP into 'investor Permanent Residence Permit. As it is permanent as long asinvestor holds the property. Another addition will be for RP owners: Ownershipcan be transferred and new owner will get the RP. Previous owner looses RP. Theprogram will be promoted as 'golden visa program'. The above mentioned changeswill be voted by Greek Government till the end of 2014. They are not yet valid.Today it was also clarified: that for children of investors they are fullyeligible to the RP till the age of 21 and then they can get 3years renewablevisas No need anymore for medical examination on RP application. No need forvalid visa on RP application From May the RP will be issued as ID card style. It'sworth mentioning that 436 RP have been issued inGreeceby September 119 RP fromChina.
主申请人的父母能够得到居留身份,申请人可以利用投资25万房产得到的居留身份居住在希腊,若居留期达到法定的年期,申请人可以入藉。这投资移民政策的名字会改成“investor Permanent Residence Permit”,此外,申请人要是持有房产他就可以永久得到居留权。持有房产能达到居留身份,将房产售给新买家以后,第三国的新买家也可以得到居留身份。换言之,这永久居留许可是可以转移的。今后,将“黄金签证”政策作为希腊对外的宣传名称。
以上政策改动,将于2014年底提交希腊国会进行投票表决,因此目前并未实施。
以下是对现行政策的澄清:
1. 申请人的子女年纪小于21周岁可以申请3年有效期的可续签证;
2. 申请人取消体检;
3. 申请时不需要有效入境签证;
4. 2015年5月以后,永久居民会得到居留卡,而不是现在有的护照贴签。
康联信远移民专家许女士解析:2014年的葡萄牙“三代移民”的黄金居留签证政策可以用“爆棚”来形容,而希腊的“购房移民”移民政策相较于葡萄牙而言,除了价格优势,政策的灵活性要逊色很多。尤其现行的移民政策对永久居民和入籍只字未提,也让不少投资者顾虑重重。
此次,希腊内政部对“购房移民”政策初步拟定的改革方案,“效仿”葡萄牙的寓意更浓,但另一方面,希腊政府也看到“他国”接收移民对国内经济的拉动作用不可小视,因此决定“拿出诚意”。
相信2015年希腊又将在欧洲的投资移民领域掀起一场新一轮的投资狂潮。
