This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Ms Hui (pseudonym), Hong Kong, husband and two children. She wanted a family base in Europe.
Main concern
Her budget did not stretch to a EUR 800,000 property in Athens.
Our approach
In a EUR 400,000 area she chose a single property of more than 120 square metres and arranged a long-term let.
Process and outcome
She received five-year residence cards, and the property is let long term.
Adviser’s comment
