Greece Residence by Investment
To qualify for permanent residency in Greece under the Greece Golden Visa Program, applicants must meet specific investment requirements designed to encourage foreign investments.
Applicants have the option to invest in real estate or other financial assets. The qualifying options include:
A real estate investment of at least EUR 250,000 in specialized zones for commercial property conversions or listed building restorations, or EUR 400,000 for the purchase of properties in Greece. Alternatively, applicants can invest EUR 800,000 in properties located in Athens, Thessaloniki, or specific islands.
We offer exclusive opportunities designed to help you meet the residency requirements with ease. Our tailored solutions simplify the process, ensuring you can fulfill the necessary criteria efficiently and without hassle.
The Greece Golden Visa Program offers numerous benefits to successful applicants. One of the main advantages is visa-free travel throughout Europe’s Schengen Area. There is no requirement to reside in Greece, making it a flexible option for investors. Residence permits can be acquired within 90 to 120 days and are valid indefinitely, with renewals available every five years. The program also allows investors to rent out their property, and the residence permit extends to the entire family, including the spouse, children under 21, and parents of both the main applicant and spouse.
Additionally, successful applicants have the opportunity to apply for Greek citizenship after seven years of continuous residence. While residents can hold shares and receive income from dividends of companies registered in Greece, they are not allowed to be employed within the country.
The Greece Golden Visa Program also offers alternative investment options, such as a 10-year time-sharing or lease agreement for hotel accommodation or tourist residences, a fixed-term deposit of at least EUR 500,000 with a Greek credit institution, or a capital contribution of the same amount into Greek investment companies or funds. Additional options include the purchase of Greek government bonds worth at least EUR 500,000 or other investment instruments such as shares, bonds, or mutual funds with an acquisition value starting at EUR 350,000.
