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 residency in Europe through an investment in real estate.
It combines access to the Schengen area with investment in the Greek property market.
The programme itself is straightforward. The way the investment is approached makes the difference.
Investment and requirements
To qualify for the Golden Visa in Greece, an investment in real estate is required.
The minimum investment depends on the region and type of property. In some areas, the threshold starts from €250,000, while in other regions higher thresholds apply.
The residency permit is granted for a period of five years and can be renewed as long as the investment is maintained.
Real estate as the foundation
Within the Golden Visa programme, real estate forms the basis of the investment.
The choice of property and location directly affects both usability and long-term value.
Not every property that meets the minimum investment threshold is equally suitable. Factors such as location, layout, accessibility and local regulations play an important role.
A careful selection of real estate is therefore essential in aligning the investment with the objectives of the buyer.
Practical considerations
The Golden Visa process involves a number of practical steps.
In addition to the investment itself, this includes obtaining a Greek tax number, opening a bank account and completing the administrative procedures.
The exact process may vary depending on the individual situation and the chosen investment.
Clear preparation helps keep the process structured and avoids unnecessary delays.
The acquisition and application process
The Golden Visa process consists of several clear steps, where the purchase and application are closely connected.
Orientation
Selecting a property that fits within the Golden Visa framework and aligns with your objectives.
Due diligence
Verification of documentation, ownership and development potential of the property. This stage also includes assessing whether the investment meets the Golden Visa requirements.
Transfer
Formal completion of the purchase, including notarial procedures, registrations and tax formalities.
Golden Visa application

The quality of the investment is determined by the decisions made beforehand
A considered investment requires clarity
