Greece’s Golden Visa program remains one of Europe’s most resilient residency-by-investment initiatives, continuing to evolve in response to economic shifts and increased EU scrutiny.
In a recent analysis, Angie Alevizou, senior associate and head of immigration at DRAKOPOULOS, highlights the program’s strategic transformation.
