The Greek Ministry of National Economy and Finance has published a draft law that sets out the conditions for obtaining a residence permit by investment in startups starting January 1st, 2025: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-and-citizenship-greece-en/

As the draft reads, foreign nationals will be eligible to obtain a residence permit in Greece by investment in a startup business. The minimum investment amount is €250,000.

Project requirements:
🔹 registration in the National Startup Registry, Elevate Greece;
🔹 creation of at least two jobs within the first year;
🔹 retention of the number of jobs for at least five years from the date of investment.

At present, investors can still obtain a residence permit in Greece by purchasing real estate. The Golden Visa is granted for investment ranging between €400,000 to 800,000, depending on the region.

We will continue to monitor developments and inform you if the draft law is passed and if investors lose the opportunity to obtain a residence permit by property purchases.

⚡️ The ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party has decided to cease issuing residency permits by investment: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-in-spain-en/

This news was reported by Spanish media. The publication Idealista claims that the fate of the Golden Visa was determined behind closed doors on October 30th, 2024.

Let us recall that amendments to the organic law on obtaining residency by investment were submitted by September 4th, 2024. The Congress was scheduled to review the amendments on September 9th, 2024. However, news of the government’s decision has only now come to light.

Spain plans to introduce a transitional period for those who submitted applications for residency by investment before the new regulations take effect.

The Spanish government has yet to comment on the changes. Media sources also note that Congress will vote on the amendments, and the final decision will be announced in two weeks.

For now, investors can still obtain residency in Spain. We will closely monitor any changes and report on Congress's decision.

Investors have the right to rent out investment property in Greece for short-term lets. However, not all property qualifies. As a reminder, Greece raised its investment threshold in April 2024 but introduced a transition period: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-and-citizenship-greece-en/

The €250,000 threshold remained valid if an investor paid a deposit of 10% of the property's value or purchased property before August 31st, 2024. In this case, the law permits earning income from short-term rentals, such as through Airbnb.

Properties purchased after this date can only be let for long-term rentals.

Greece is monitoring compliance with the new rules. The fine for breaching the short-term rental ban is €50,000.

Those who have already obtained a Golden Visa may rent their properties to tourists. The proportion of local renters in Greece is also growing, reaching 27% of the population in 2024.

The average rent in central Athens is €10.71 per square metre of property, which is 7.1% higher than in 2023. In popular coastal areas, rental prices reach €20 per square metre.

⚡ ️ The changes in St Kitts and Nevis' citizenship by investment programme have already come into effect. The new regulations were published in the country’s official gazette on October 25th, 2024: https://immigrantinvest.com/citizenship-saint-kitts-and-nevis-en/

Paddington Bear has become a British citizen. The creators of the film Paddington in Peru requested a replica passport from the Home Office to use during filming, but the country's Home Office issued a genuine passport instead.

Paddington was born in the jungles of Peru. He arrived in England in a lifeboat, sustaining himself on marmalade the entire way. Interestingly, the Peruvian government issued Paddington an identity document back in 2014.

The process of Paddington Bear’s naturalisation took 66 years. The first book about the adventures of this clumsy migrant was published in 1958.

Here’s how long Paddington’s naturalisation would have taken in other countries:
— 5 years in Portugal: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-in-portugal-en/
— 7 years in Greece: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-and-citizenship-greece-en/
— 1 or 3 years in Malta: https://immigrantinvest.com/malta-citizenship-by-investment-en/

In the collection of stories Paddington Abroad, the bear travels to France with his adoptive family. A customs officer refuses to let Paddington leave the country, saying that “travelling abroad without a passport is against the law.”

Now, Paddington won’t have such problems, as he’ll be able to visit France without a visa for up to 90 days within 180. All he’ll need is his new passport. 💙

🐪 Egypt has updated its citizenship by investment program’s conditions. Applicants can now purchase property jointly with other investors, provided each holds a share of at least $300,000. For example, three investors can submit an application if they buy a property worth $900,000 or more.: https://immigrantinvest.com/citizenship-by-investment-in-egypt-en/

Real estate in Egypt offers the highest returns among Middle Eastern countries. The return on investment (ROI) in the country is 10—20%, whereas in more stable markets, this figure often does not exceed 8%.

The average return on real estate in Egypt is 10—15% per year. For comparison, in Dubai, it ranges from 5 to 8%.

Renting out residential property in Egypt brings owners a profit of 7—9%, while commercial properties yield higher returns, ranging from 10 to 14%.

When buying private property, one needs to open a bank account in an Egyptian bank, and transfer the funds to it. The investor then converts the money and completes the transaction.
