For many applicants who want to apply for Greek immigration, employment is a big problem. As we all know, according to the law, applicants with permanent residence cards are not allowed to work, but how can they maintain their life after immigration without working? If you can't make a living, why immigrate? When I think about it this way, it seems that I have entered a dead end. But it's not.

Although Greek law stipulates that you can't get a job, it doesn't restrict applicants from starting their own businesses. In fact, after emigrating to Greece, applicants can do many things.

First, real estate investment

Many people in China have a special complex about real estate, thinking that having a house makes them feel safe. This idea is also applicable to applicants who apply for Greek immigration. For them, the house is not only a guarantee for settling down, but also a way of investment.

As a result of the economic crisis many years ago, the overall house price in Greece has dropped significantly, but thanks to the support of various policies, the house price has obviously rebounded in the past two years. Moreover, due to the developed tourism industry in Greece, there are a large number of tourists visiting there every year, and the demand for housing is very strong. In the center of Athens with convenient transportation and perfect infrastructure, the annual rental return of short-term rental in Airbnb mode can reach 5%! Many applicants took a fancy to this and went to Greece to invest in real estate. For example, last year, a China investor bought 111 suites in one breath just to invest.

Ms. L, an immigrant customer, immigrated for the sake of her children's schooling. Before that, she was also worried about the problem that Greece could not find employment. After all, the children had to go to school, and the family could not only spend money without income. Later, after consulting us, she realized that she could get rental income by investing in Greek real estate, so Ms. L bought two small-sized houses near the Acropolis in the city center and rented them to us as short rent, while her family lived in an apartment in the north. Short-term rental for one night is about 81 to 111 euros, which can not only meet the daily expenses of their whole family, but also have a lot of surplus in one month.

Second, opening a shop

After emigrating to Greece, there are also many applicants who do business locally. Of course, most people will choose individual shops that are relatively easy to operate, such as supermarkets, souvenir shops, homestays and Chinese restaurants. Compared with starting a company, opening a shop by themselves can't earn so much money, but it is better than being small and easy to operate, and earning a little money is enough.

Mr. H, an immigrant client two years ago, is one of them. When he was in China, he managed two Sichuan restaurants, so when he immigrated, he knew that Greece could not find employment locally and he had the idea of opening a Chinese restaurant there. Later, after officially landing in Greece, the restaurant was opened with the help of our later team. The restaurant is small in scale, and it is mainly based on Sichuan cuisine. At the same time, many fusion dishes are designed according to the tastes of foreigners. Mr. H's restaurant has been open for one year now, and its business is not bad. Not only China people, but also many foreigners like it.

Third, start a company

Perhaps most people don't know that the primary industry in Greece is actually agriculture. Greece belongs to hilly area, and the arable area accounts for 31% of the national territory. Local cotton, fruits and vegetables, olive oil, aquatic products, etc. are exported overseas, as well as honey, cheese, wine, etc., which are the main export agricultural products. Because of this advantage, many China entrepreneurs and immigrant applicants have also started import and export business.

after emigrating, Mr. T, a client, started his own company, specializing in the import and export of agricultural products. He has experience in entrepreneurship and management in China, so he got started in Greece quickly. Because the Greek government encourages entrepreneurship, the procedure of setting up a company in Greece is not complicated. With the help of our later team, Mr. T's company went smoothly from preparation to establishment to steady operation. Because the quality of EU agricultural products is absolutely excellent, and the price is not too expensive, it is very popular with Chinese people. Mr. T's company has a good profit situation. Recently, he is thinking of expanding its scale again.

Of course, starting a company in Greece is not limited to the import and export business. If you want to engage in other industries, it is completely fine, but industries with special provisions of Greek laws, such as banking and insurance, cannot be involved. If you want to know more details about starting a company in Greece, please consult our immigration experts.
