    I beg to differ. In 2023 there are Bank Charges to maintain a current account. Also, Estate Agents charge both the buyer and seller of a property plus there is also tax to be paid on it.

      You might be eligible for a resident permit, but from a fast Google search it looks like that it might depend on the value of the house. In any case you should contact the Greek embassy in the country you live in.

    Γεια σου, So I am 15 and I am considering moving to Greece and for the most part I am optimistic, I just have a few worries, namely the military requirements, as well as the attitude toward lgbtq+ peoples & what the outlook is for entrepreneurship. I hope my queries aren’t too broad χαχαχα, αγαπώ Ελλάδα από την Αμερική 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇷

    • @GetawayJamie
      @GetawayJamie  2 года назад +1

      Well the truth is that if you're Greek you'll have to join the military at some point. It lasts for a year but you'll probably won't have to go before you finish your bachelor's degree. Are for LGBTQ+ things aren't that bad, but not that good either. I'll probably have to make a video about that. I'm quite not familiar with the requirements and benefits of creating a company or opening your own business I'm afraid. From what I've heard it's not the easiest thing, but I guess it depends on the type of business and the time you open it. Hope that have you a few info and welcome to Greece. And if you don't like it I guess you can always move back to the US! ☺️

    John 3:16-21
    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Considering Greece is technically bankrupt, debt to gdp, plus they use the Euro which has bail in conditions, that’s why Greece and Cyprus limited amount people could take out of the bank , you do not own your own money.
    Cost of living vs standard of living, high cost low standards, can’t flush toilet paper and massive graffiti problem and very inefficient professionals and government departments.
    Even Greek businesses are moving to Bulgaria . Less tax and cheaper. Georgia 1 year visas and cheaper and much more efficient. Or you can move to Asia. Cheaper and more efficient.
    The fact of the massive debt and the amount of Greeks leaving should tell you something.

      Business are not moving to Bulgaria ! Only the bad quality cheap ones ! You compare Asia and Georgia with Greece ! In Greece you will. Not take 400-500 per month like Asia and Georgia ! Bette elite style more opportunities and last but not least 100000 more beautiful than the countries you mentioned !!
