✔ After 7 years of residency, it is possible to apply for Greek citizenship, granting visa-free access to 188 countries worldwide.
✔ The entire process can be completed remotely, including property purchases, with only one visit required for biometric submission.

Investment Options: Real Estate, Bonds, and Funds

Obtaining a Golden Visa in Greece is possible through investments in the country’s economy. The program offers several investment options, each leading to a 5-year residence permit.

The most popular option remains real estate purchase, with the minimum threshold depending on the region: €800,000 for properties of at least 120 sq.m. in high-demand areas (Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini), €400,000 for similar properties in other regions, or €250,000 for purchasing and fully renovating historically significant buildings or converting commercial properties into residential units.

In addition to real estate, investments can be made in Greek government bonds starting from €400,000 with a 5-year term, investments in Real Estate Investment Funds (REIFs) with the same minimum amount, purchase of shares in Greek companies, or opening a deposit account in a Greek bank.
