Where Millionaires Are Moving in 2026: What Henley Says About Greece

In June 2026 Henley & Partners stopped counting how many millionaires move and began ranking countries on a Wealth Mobility Competitiveness Score out of 100; Cyprus topped Europe with 73.5 and Greece scored 70.5 (Euronews, 21 June 2026, reporting the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2026). The score and the demand figures are useful signals. They are not a count of people who actually moved, and the firm sells residence and citizenship advice, so read them with that in mind.

The European scores

Country	Score out of 100
Cyprus	73.5
Netherlands	72.8
Portugal	72.5
Italy	72.3
Switzerland	70.8
Greece	70.5
Germany	69.7
Norway	69.0
United Kingdom	68.3
France	65.7

What the report says about Greece

The report describes Greece as one of the clearest beneficiaries of recent changes, after Spain closed its golden visa and Portugal withdrew its property-linked route. That fits what we see in the rules: see which golden visas still exist.

Why people are leaving, according to the report

• United Kingdom: applications from people with a UK address rose 15% between 2024 and 2025. The report links the pressure to the end of the non-dom regime, inheritance tax changes and the closure of the Tier 1 investor visa.
• Germany: enquiries from German nationals rose 16% between late 2025 and early 2026.
• France: moved from the top 40 source nationalities of Henley's clients in 2024 to the top 15 in 2026.
• Italy: attracts interest for its flat tax on new residents, its inheritance tax framework and EU market access; Milan is described as a growing family office hub.

What the numbers do not say

• The Euronews article gives no net inflow or outflow of millionaires for any country and no forecast total. Other websites quote such figures, but we could not trace them to the report, so we leave them out.
• Henley says its figures show broad trends rather than exact counts, and the tax analyst Dan Neidle has questioned whether the data supports the precision often quoted.
• A high score does not make a programme right for you: tax residence, family and the source of your wealth decide that.

What to do with it

1. Use the ranking to build a shortlist, not to choose a country.
2. Compare the programmes themselves: Greece or Cyprus, Greece or Portugal.
3. Check your tax position before you move: does the Golden Visa make you a tax resident.
4. Read the honest checklist: is the Greek Golden Visa worth it.
