Residency by investment
The Greece Golden Visa, explained
Europe's most accessible residency-by-investment programme — with no obligation to live in Greece. Here is how it works, what it costs, and where we can help.
Investment thresholds
Three tiers, set by location and property type
Greece moved from a single nationwide figure to a tiered structure in 2024. Which tier applies depends on where the property is and what is being done with it.
€250,000
Conversion & restoration
Anywhere in Greece
Reserved for properties being converted from commercial to residential use, and for the restoration of listed buildings. The lowest entry point, available even inside the highest-priced zones.
€400,000
Regional Greece
Outside the high-demand zones
Applies to most of the country, away from the largest cities and the most-visited islands. The property must generally be at least 120 m² and bought as a single asset.
€800,000
High-demand zones
Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini
Covers the Athens Riviera and the most sought-after islands. As with the €400,000 tier, a minimum of 120 m² in a single property normally applies.
Figures reviewed July 2026. This page is a general guide, not legal or tax advice — thresholds, zone boundaries and conditions are set by Greek law and can change. We will confirm the requirements that apply to a specific property, and you should take independent legal advice before committing.
Why Greece
What the permit actually gives you
Residency for the whole family
One qualifying investment covers the main applicant, their spouse, children under 21, and the parents of both spouses.
No minimum stay
Unlike most residency programmes, there is no obligation to live in Greece to keep the permit valid.
Schengen access
The permit allows visa-free travel across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Renewable every five years
The permit is granted for five years and renews indefinitely for as long as the investment is held.
The process
From first conversation to residence card
Most of it can be handled remotely. You will need to be in Greece once, to give biometrics.
- 01
Define the brief
We establish your budget, the tier you are targeting, and whether the goal is lifestyle, yield, or purely the residency.
- 02
Shortlist and view
You receive a curated shortlist of qualifying properties. Viewings are arranged in person or by private video tour.
- 03
Legal groundwork
An independent Greek lawyer handles due diligence, and you obtain a Greek tax number and bank account. Power of attorney can cover this remotely.
- 04
Purchase
Funds are transferred, contracts signed before a notary, and the deed registered in your name.
- 05
Apply for the permit
Biometrics are submitted in Greece. A residence card follows, with the family's applications filed alongside yours.
