Irish and Spanish immigrants have been shut down continuously! European immigrants are changing!

01, Irish investment immigration officially closed

On February 14, local time, the Irish Ministry of Justice announced that the Irish Investment Immigration Program (IIP) was officially closed after the end of the working day on February 15, 2023.

The Ministry of Justice further stated that: those who have been approved or have submitted IIP applications will not be affected; IIP projects that have been approved but have not yet completed the subscription (financing) will not be affected, and these projects can continue to recruit investors to complete the project subscription; However, after February 15, the acceptance of new IIP project applications was officially stopped. In other words, people who want to invest in immigration to Ireland can also submit applications through the approved IIP project with remaining places, and once the places are full, the door to invest in immigration to Ireland will be completely closed!

02, Portugal gold visa announced the closure

Following Ireland's pace, Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa announced on February 16 that he would completely shut down Portugal's "golden visa" investment immigration project. Costa said that the ten-year golden visa has fulfilled its due responsibilities and completed its historical mission. Sources said that the Portuguese government will announce the details of the closure of the gold visa program on March 16, 2023.

Under the environment of continuous pressure from the European Union on investment immigration, the investment immigration plans of European countries have changed one after another. In February last year, Britain fired the first shot of shutting down investment immigrants. In February this year, Ireland took the lead in shutting down investment immigrants, followed by Portugal. Immigrants should take it as early as possible. If they miss the opportunity, they will really have no chance!

03, Spanish party proposes closure of home-buying immigrants

Spain's left-wing party Más Pais has submitted a bill in parliament to try to abolish the euro -500000 property investment option in the country's gold visa program. Specifically, the party proposes to change the definition of "major capital investment" to invest at least 2 million euros to buy government bonds or 1 million euros to Spanish companies and deposits in Spanish banks. In the view of the party leader Iñigo Errejón, Spain's golden visa program has encouraged "speculation" in real estate and pushed up housing costs, believing that it has had a negative impact on the country's economy.

04, Greece gold visa prices before the surge in applications

After the announcement of the decision that the investment threshold for "golden visa" in some parts of Greece will rise from 250000 euros to 500000 euros, the number of applications for golden visa in Greece surged in the fourth quarter of 2022. Data show that Greece received the largest number of gold visa applications in the last month of 2022, reaching 1116, far higher than the 337 in September of the same year, an increase of 231%. At present, there are only more than two months left before the price increase.
