Greece is planning to launch a new citizenship by investment program during the first quarter of 2020. It is a special limited CBI scheme similar to that of Cyprus with EUR 2 million investment. This is part of the new renewed efforts by the newly elected Greek government aiming to achieve significant FDI in the country to achieve 3% GDP growth.

This highly anticipated scheme will admit only 200 investors for fast track citizenship every year under this scheme.
