Country offers new fast-track citizenship to wealthy Americans seeking other opportunities

With the growing popularity of "golden" visas among wealthy Americans, one country is expanding the pathways for those interested in gaining citizenship in this fashion. 

Greece has introduced the "Greek Startup ecosystem" — expanding citizenship opportunities beyond just an investment in real estate.

Those eligible can invest around $259,000 in select startups listed on the country's National Startup Registry, according to the official platform Elevate Greece (EG), in sectors that include real estate, defense and finance.
