Greece is mainly divided into two types: public schools and private schools. Relatively speaking, private schools have richer educational resources. Most of the teachers come from overseas, and they all have unified teacher qualifications in the European Union. The advantage of public education is that children who immigrate to Greece can enjoy free compulsory education from childhood to adulthood. Minor children can apply to attend Greek public schools or private schools to receive a pure British education.
In addition, children of Greek immigrants can attend Greek branches of American and British universities. One of the great advantages of attending such a school is that the diplomas obtained by students when they graduate are exactly the same as those obtained by British and American universities, which are recognized by American government agencies and British educational institutions. In the last year, students will have the opportunity to go to their alma mater in the United States, Britain and other countries if their academic performance and funds meet the requirements.

Investors who immigrate to Greece by buying a house can also enjoy free public medical services like local residents. In addition, Greek immigrants can also choose to buy medical insurance and enjoy private hospital resources. The price of medical insurance in Greece is not high, only a few hundred euros a year, which can cover the expenses of common diseases, surgery and hospitalization. For immigrants living in Greece, there are also insurance options with higher coverage and covering the whole EU.

Greece is also an EU country and enjoys the same settling-in allowance. For example, every mother can enjoy the child allowance. From the fifth month after pregnancy until the child is 3 years old. The subsidy conditions are related to family income, and generally you can apply for about 1000 euros per month.

Australian and Shenzhen immigrants reminded that Greek immigrants who buy houses belong to the category of investment immigrants, so applicants and their families are not allowed to work in Greece in any form. Being unable to work means that you can't apply for the Greek social security fund and enjoy the benefits stipulated by social security. But if you plan to live in Greece for a long time, you can apply for a work permit or become a Greek citizen, so that you can enjoy all the welfare benefits in Greece, including: living allowance, unemployment allowance, minimum living allowance, special allowance for the elderly to stand on their own feet, retirement system and so on.
