Build a Secure Future in Greece and Europe

Greece offers a combination of European residency, Mediterranean living and access to a developing property market. Its Golden Visa programme is attractive to investors who want greater mobility and a long-term connection with Europe.

Renewable Five-Year Residency

Successful applicants receive a Greek residence permit that is generally valid for five years. The permit may be renewed for further five-year periods, provided the qualifying investment is maintained and all renewal conditions are satisfied.

What is the Greece Golden Visa?

The Greece Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment programme for eligible non-EU and non-EEA nationals.

It allows applicants to obtain a renewable Greek residence permit after completing a qualifying investment.

Qualifying investment opportunities may start from €250,000 for specific property conversions or restoration projects.

Can I obtain the Greece Golden Visa by purchasing any property?

No. Not every property qualifies.

Eligibility depends on the property’s location, value, size, permitted use and legal status. The property should be reviewed by an authorised Greek legal professional before purchase.

How long is the Greece Golden Visa valid?

The residence permit is generally valid for five years.

It may be renewed for further five-year periods if the investment is maintained and the applicant continues to meet the programme requirements.

Do I have to live in Greece?

There is generally no minimum-stay requirement for maintaining or renewing the Greece Golden Visa.

However, applicants seeking Greek citizenship must meet separate physical-residence and integration requirements.

Can my family be included?

Eligible family members may be included.

This may include a spouse or recognised partner, qualifying children and the parents of the main applicant and spouse, subject to current rules.
