Golden Visa Greece
Residency through a considered approach to real estate investment
The Golden Visa programme in Greece offers non-EU buyers the opportunity to obtain a residency permit through an investment in Greek real estate.
The residency permit is granted for a period of five years and can be renewed as long as the investment is maintained.
The programme provides access to the Schengen area and may be extended to direct family members, subject to the applicable regulations.
Investment and requirements
The minimum investment within the Golden Visa programme varies depending on the region and type of property.
Currently, investment thresholds of €250,000, €400,000 or €800,000 apply, depending on the location and property category.
The applicable requirements depend on the specific property and the regulations in force at the time of purchase.
Real estate as the foundation
A Golden Visa begins with the selection of the right property.
For some buyers, personal use is central. For others, location, rental potential or long-term value play a greater role.
The quality of an investment is not determined by regulations alone, but by the decisions that precede it.
We assist buyers in selecting property that aligns with their objectives. For the legal and administrative aspects of the Golden Visa process, we work together with specialised partners in Greece.

The quality of the property, its location and the objectives of the buyer remain the most important factors.
