This doesn't bode well for those looking to go down the Golden Visa route in future.
A Golden visa is a permanent residence permit offered to non-European residents investing 250.000 € and above in Greece.
The visas are supposed to be issued within two months.
N.b. Nothing to do with coronavirus! These 35 Chinese nationals tabled Golden Visa applications as long as two years ago and have just launched the legal process to claim compensation from the Greek state.
' Market sources say that the competent agencies keep trying to extend the deadline by demanding more and more documents from aspiring recipients of the permits. as has allegedly been the case with the 35 Chinese citizens, thereby resetting the two-month clock multiple times'.
