The American Dream Moves To Greece

The Rise of American Expats Moves from Portugal to Greece

The upcoming closure of the Portugal Golden Visa is set to significantly impact Greece when it comes to their very own Golden Visa program. Since 2020 Americans have been flocking to Portugal in unprecedented numbers, seeking a European passport in par with (or as a replacement for) their American one. Now, as Portugal looks to pull the plug on the whole golden visa program, Americans are seeking a new EU hotspot to set roots.

Historically, Americans have always been fond of Greece. Athens and the Greek Islands are increasingly becoming a European vacation spot for Americans and there are strong ties between the two nations. This transition will likely prove to be an easy one for investors looking for a new hotspot in Europe to call home. One can't help but wonder if the long term success could even outdo the Portugal program altogether. So let's take a look at the numbers.
