Why Greece Leads European Investment Migration in 2026

✓Portugal: real-estate Golden Visa route closed in 2023; NHR tax benefits ended
✓Spain: Golden Visa abolished on April 3, 2025, with no new applications accepted
✓Malta: MPRP effective total cost is around EUR 500k including mandatory contributions
✓Cyprus: outside the Schengen Area, so PR does not directly unlock Schengen mobility
✓Turkey: outside the EU and Schengen, with continued lira depreciation risk
✓Greece: qualifying routes start from the applicable statutory threshold; family eligibility, residence conditions, travel rights and processing remain subject to current law and authority review
