Greece offers one of the most accessible Golden Visa programs in the EU, with approval timelines starting from around 2-3 months and a streamlined process. Investors must purchase real estate, and the minimum investment starts from EUR 250,000 depending on location and property type. As long as ownership continues, the residence permit can be renewed every 5 years.

Program Requirements

Application Criterias

The core criteria for Greece's residence-by-investment program are listed below.

01

Due Diligence

Greece has one of the least intrusive review processes among EU programs. A clean criminal record and transfer of investment funds from a licensed bank to a bank account in Greece are generally sufficient.

02

Investment Model

The program is real-estate based and requires property acquisition. Purchased property can be used personally or rented out to generate income.

03

Investment Holding Period

To maintain and renew the Golden Visa, the investment must be retained. If Greek citizenship is obtained, the investment obligation is removed.

04

Physical Presence

Applicants must visit Greece for biometric procedures; beyond that, there is no mandatory relocation or full-time residence requirement.
