Why Europe Still Leads for Luxury Buyers
- Culture & lifestyle: world-class cities, heritage architecture, Mediterranean coasts, the Alps, lakes and wine country.
- Rule of law & transparency: robust legal frameworks, established conveyancing practices, and strong consumer protections.
- Mobility: several countries offer residence permits tied to investment (with evolving rules; see “Golden Visa” updates below).
- Value retention: prime addresses (Paris, London, Monaco, Riviera, Balearics, Alps) tend to hold value with limited supply.

Golden Visa / Residency by Investment — What’s Current (2025)
- Spain: the Golden Visa program has been abolished (officially ended on 3 April 2025). See coverage by
Reuters and legal briefings such as
Echeverría Abogados. - Portugal: Golden Visa remains, but real estate no longer qualifies (since Oct 2023 under the “Mais Habitação” law). See the
U.S. State Department 2024 Investment Climate Statement. - Greece: Golden Visa thresholds have risen in popular areas; many routes from €250k still exist in specific zones/asset types, but €400k–€800k applies in high-demand districts under 2024–2025 changes. See current summaries from
Global Citizen Solutions and
Get Golden Visa. - EU stance: The European Commission has urged Member States to curtail investor citizenship schemes and tighten residence-by-investment controls. See the
European Parliamentary Research Service brief (2024).
Important: Program terms change. Always verify current rules, eligible areas, stay requirements, due-diligence checks, and fees with official government sources and licensed advisors before committing.
Pros & Cons for Luxury Buyers
Pros: globally coveted addresses, strong legal protections, deep cultural/educational/healthcare advantages, and historically resilient prime markets.
Cons: high entry prices and transaction costs, heritage restrictions on renovations, evolving visa policies, and longer marketing periods for ultra-prime resales.
Advice for Sellers of Luxury Property
