Programme Overview
Greece Golden Visa Programme Overview

Launched in July 2013 the Greek Golden Visa programme grants a five-year residency visa in return for an investment in real estate. There is no minimum stay requirement, and children up to the age of 21 are included in the family application.

Greek authorities grant the visa for five years and renew it every five years if you retain the property investment. Furthermore, you do not need to live in the country to retain and renew the investor visa. However, Greece citizenship can only be granted after seven years of residency.

The Greece Golden Visa cost varies, depending on which real estate category you choose. Investment options start from €250,000.

Cost
How Much Does a Greece Golden Visa Cost?
As of September 1st, 2024, the Greece Golden Visa costs have been revised. The new minimum investment requirements are:
Investment Zone
€800,000
Applies to sought-after areas: the entire Region of Attica (including Athens), Thessaloniki, the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and 32 other islands.
Investment Zone
€400,000
For properties located outside the prime areas, the minimum investment is set at €400,000.
Special Investment Category
€250,000
Certain investments such as commercial-to-residential conversions and restoration of listed buildings can still qualify for the €250,000 threshold, provided the restoration is completed to renew the Golden Visa after five years. These projects are extremely limited and those interested should act fast.
Government, notary and legal fees for the property purchase and visa application will amount to around €15,000. In addition, there is VAT to pay in Greece on the property purchase.

Benefits
Benefits of The Greek Golden Visa
Greece offers one of the most cost-effective golden visa programmes in Europe. Applicants are granted Greek Permanent Residency within just a few months, after a real estate investment of €250,000. A Greek residency permit enables you to live, work, and study in Greece, if you wish — though this is not a requirement of the programme. As Greece is part of the Schengen Zone, Greek residents can travel visa-free to the rest of the EU Schengen Zone, spending up to 90 days every 180 days in other Schengen states.

The Process
Steps Towards a Golden Visa in Greece
An overview and illustrative guide to the steps and approximate timelines involved in the golden visa application process. Please note these timelines can vary dependent on individual applications and any complexities involved.
Step 1

Book your free consultation with La Vida's team of experts to discuss and decide which programme and investment route is best suited to you and your family. Our experienced consultants will advise you on all applicable fees and guide you through the entire process in detail.

Step 2

You can choose your real estate investment remotely through our trusted advisors, or you can visit Greece to select your investment and appoint a lawyer to take care of the conveyancing on your behalf. Through Power of Attorney the property purchase can be completed at the notary in your absence.

Step 3

Once the real estate investment is complete, usually within 30 days, you can then apply. Clients will need to attend an application appointment to submit their biometric data, or it can be submitted within six months following the appointment.

Step 4

Once your golden visa application has been approved you will be issued with a five-year Greek Permanent Residency permit. You can renew this every five years, provided the real estate investment is maintained.
