Greece, a nation distinguished by its picturesque landscapes, pristine waters, and significant historical landmarks. The Greece Golden Visa Programme, recognised as one of the most cost-effective residence by investment programmes in Europe, expedites visa-free access to Europe’s Schengen Area for successful applicants and their families within two to three months of submission.
Greece is a southeastern European nation steeped in history and culture, known for its stunning landscapes, sun-kissed beaches, and archaeological sites. As the cradle of Western civilization, Greece has a rich heritage that dates back thousands of years, evident in its ancient ruins, such as the Parthenon in Athens and the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. With more than 2,000 islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas, Greece offers a diverse range of experiences, from the bustling cosmopolitan city of Athens to the serene beauty of Santorini and Mykonos.
The Greek people are famous for their warm hospitality and love for good food, making the country a haven for gastronomes. The Mediterranean cuisine, featuring fresh seafood, olives, and feta cheese, is a highlight of any visit to Greece. With its vibrant arts scene, traditional villages, and relaxed, laid-back lifestyle, Greece has a unique charm that captivates visitors from around the world.
Greece Golden Visa applicants are granted permanent residence in Greece by acquiring real estate in the amount of EUR 250,000 or by putting EUR 400,000 in fixed-term deposits or government bonds. The residency permit allows its holder visa-free travel to the Schengen area for 90 days every six months. The residency card must be renewed every five years but there are no stay requirements.

Greece passed Law 4146/2013 on April 18, 2013, which allows foreign nationals who invest at least 250,000 Euros in residential real estate that is physically located in Greece to apply for a five-year Greek residency visa. A residence permit is given for five years (for a 5-year period each time) and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the real estate property is still owned by the applicant. However, the residence permits do not grant you any right to employment.
Properties can be purchased in all areas of Greece, including Athens, city centres, coastal areas and the beautiful islands. Property in Athens is currently cheaper than in many other European capitals, three times cheaper than Lisbon, Portugal, or Madrid, Spain and almost eight times more affordable than in Paris, France. For more information on real estate properties that qualify for the Greece Golden Visa.
You will need to travel at least once to Greece to finalise the residency application. It is possible to buy properties remotely with our assistance. In any event, our dedicated team will assist you throughout the process if you want to conduct a property view of attractive real estate opportunities.
