Greek Golden Visa for €250,000: Invest in Purpose-Built Student Accommodation

We are entering into a new life cycle of Golden Visas, in which the quality of the investment is the main deciding factor.

2023 was an eventful one for Golden Visas. The Greek program saw a doubling in price (in the most attractive areas), and the changes to the investment criteria for Portugal proved colossal.

Golden Visas are constantly evolving and adapting to changing economic and geopolitical landscapes. But the considerable changes in 2023 hint at something else, something bigger.

Golden visa investment in the world’s best-performing economy

Golden Visas have defined the residency by investment landscape in the modern era. The ease and simplicity of obtaining a residence permit in the EU through investments has garnered interest from every corner of the globe.

However, investors are becoming more familiar with the intricacies of Golden Visas and now understand that the investment aspect of the programs shouldn’t be perceived as a means to an end but instead a critical factor of the venture.

Making a wise investment under a Golden Visa application is vital for the overall success of the journey. Some investments can provide a route to residency, but may, in the end, cost more money in the long run. Choosing a reliable, advantageous asset is essential for having your cake and eating it too – they make Golden Visas a profitable venture, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. 

While Europe has many golden visa destinations but, at the moment, they vary widely in their macroeconomic performance. Greece, an economic basket case a mere decade ago, is now among the world’s fastest-growing economies, thanks in large part to the pro-market policy changes of the recently re-elected Mitsotakis administration that have borne fruit since 2019.

The Economist has ranked the Greek economy as the best-performing worldwide for the second year running. The country has completed a remarkable turn-around since the economic crisis of 2008-2009 and now represents one of the world’s most exciting investment destinations.

The Greek Golden Visa provides investors with a unique opportunity to obtain a residency permit through an investment with massive growth and profitability potential.

Not all asset classes are equal, of course, and investors considering the Greek Golden Visa should carefully examine their options to ensure the asset they choose is the right one.

There are three core characteristics of a smart investment:

  • Risk-aversion
  • Sustainability
  • Profitability

An intelligent investment should always seek to balance risk versus returns, whilst a wise investment would go one step further: Not merely balancing the risks that are obvious now but also addressing potentially upcoming headwinds.  

This is particularly relevant in today’s uncertain macroeconomic environment, where concerns around rising inflation and higher interest rates prevail against a backdrop of myriad geopolitical skirmishes. 

Arish Capital Partners, a well-established real estate investment and development company, understands well the nuances of choosing and creating a robust investment asset, especially under the residency by investment umbrella. The recent growing demand for better, smarter investments under the Greek Golden Visa encouraged them to create the optimal Golden Visa investment option.

Purpose-Built Student Accommodation – A Proven, Counter-Cyclical Asset Class

Arish Wonderwall is an investment opportunity that seeks to mitigate risks whilst continuing to provide robust returns. 

The Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector has existed in the US and UK markets for decades. This experience has evidenced that PBSAs are not only a robust and well-performing real estate asset class but are also widely recognized as counter-cyclical (particularly relevant in today’s economic landscape).

These institutional grade-like elements make it part of the age of a wise investment for savvy investors. 

Arish Wonderwall introduces a new standard for purpose-built student accommodation. Situated by the sunny beaches of Patras, Greece’s third-largest city. Patras is home to over 35,000 students and is where three of Greece’s leading universities are located.

The project consists of 56 apartments and one commercial unit spanning over 2,800 sqm of premier property in one of the most aesthetically stunning cities in the world.

The project also boasts a top-tier gym, laundry, stunning rooftop garden, impressive study room, and a bicycle parking lot, making it the ideal place for students.

The city of Patras is a long established university city which makes it the ideal place for a project of Arish Wonderwall’s stature.

Investors can qualify for the Golden Visa by investing €250,000 in Arish Wonderwall to obtain a freehold and individual title deed.

Arish Wonderwall encompasses the future of Golden Visas. It is an investment that is sustainable; PBSA is a resilient asset. 

There will always be students in universities, and they will always need a place to live. This is perhaps why the PBSA sector has been termed a defensive asset investment. That is exactly what is needed in the age of wise investments.
