From €250,000

The Greece Golden Visa grants a renewable Greek residence permit when you make a qualifying real estate investment. Minimum amounts depend on location and property type under current government rules.

Under current regulations, typical thresholds include €250,000 in eligible areas and property types, €400,000 for certain single-unit purchases, and €800,000 in prime locations such as central Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini. Confirm which threshold applies before you commit.

Key Benefits

Why Choose the Greece Golden Visa

Greek Residence Permit

5-year renewable permit for you and eligible family members when you maintain a qualifying investment.

Schengen Travel

Use your residence permit to travel within the Schengen Area. Short stays in other Schengen countries are generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period.

No Minimum Stay (Permit)

No physical presence in Greece is required solely to renew your Golden Visa residence permit.

Family Included

Spouse, children under 21, and dependent parents can typically be included in one application.

Investment Pathway

Residency through qualifying real estate — from €250,000 in eligible areas, with higher thresholds in prime zones.

Citizenship Pathway

You may apply for Greek citizenship after seven years of legal residence, subject to language and integration requirements — actual residence in Greece is typically required for citizenship, not just holding the permit.

Common Questions

A Greek government residence-by-investment program. When you make a qualifying real estate investment, you can receive a 5-year renewable residence permit for you and eligible family members. This is general information — not legal advice.

It depends on location and property type. Under current rules, thresholds typically start at €250,000 in eligible areas and can be €400,000 or €800,000 in other zones or prime locations such as central Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini. Rules change — we help you confirm what applies to your case.

Yes — your Greek residence permit allows travel within Schengen member states without a separate visa for each country. Short stays in other Schengen countries are generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period. You have the right to live in Greece as your country of residence.

Not yet — our property section is coming soon. You can register on the Properties page and we will notify you when it is available.

No. Golden Visa properties cannot be rented via short-term platforms. Only long-term leases (typically 6+ months) may be permitted under current rules.

Timelines vary depending on documentation, investment completion, and application volume at the authorities. We guide you through each step and keep you informed — we do not guarantee a fixed processing time.

Yes — spouse, children under 21, and dependent parents can typically be included in one application.

No. There is no minimum physical presence requirement to maintain or renew your Golden Visa residence permit, as long as you keep the qualifying investment.

Possibly, after seven years of legal residence — but citizenship has separate requirements including language tests and integration criteria. Holding the Golden Visa permit alone, without actually living in Greece, does not count toward citizenship.
