Greece Golden Visa Program<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.24.0″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

The Greece Golden Visa Program<\/strong> has been established by the Greek government to attract foreign citizens and investors by allowing them to secure residency in Greece<\/strong> by buying a property thereby obtaining Greece citizenship.<\/p>\n

Through the Golden Visa in Greece, non-European citizens can obtain a residence permit in Greece and move freely within the Schengen area.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.24.0″ _module_preset=“default“ header_2_font=“Noto Serif|700|||||||“ header_2_text_color=“#084666″ header_2_line_height=“1.4em“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Golden Visa in Greece Requirements<\/h2>\n

The basic requirement for obtaining a residence permit through the Greek Golden Visa Program is the ownership of property in Greece worth at least 250,000 euros.<\/p>\n

The property can be owned personally or through a legal entity, provided that the applicant owns 100 percent of its shares.<\/p>\n

In determining the value of the property (or properties), the amount paid for the purchase as stated in the purchase and sale agreement is taken into account, not the property’s financial and commercial value.<\/p>\n

The residence permit obtained in Greece is valid for five years and can be renewed without limit, provided the owner remains in possession of the property acquired.<\/p>\n

As with Greek citizens, the residence permit obtained gives access to the Greek health care system and public education.<\/p>\n

After holding a residence permit for seven consecutive years, the investor and their family members may apply for Greek citizenship<\/a> or even for a dual Greek citizenship<\/a>, after successfully passing the Greek citizenship test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What kind of property can I buy in Greece to get a residence permit as an investor?<\/h3>\n

You can buy any type of property in Greece, whether residential (a house, apartment or villa) or commercial (stores, offices, hotels or other tourist properties). The important thing is that the individual property or the total properties purchased have a contract value of at least 250,000 euros. What is stated in the purchase contract is then taken into consideration when valuing the purchased property.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=“30px“ _builder_version=“4.22.0″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_font=“Noto Serif|700|||||||“ header_3_text_color=“#084666″ header_3_font_size=“14px“ custom_padding=“||10px||false|false“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Can I rent out my property?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The purchased property can be rented either under a long-term lease or exploited for short-term rentals, perhaps through electronic booking platforms like Airbnb.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=“30px“ _builder_version=“4.22.0″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_font=“Noto Serif|700|||||||“ header_3_text_color=“#084666″ header_3_font_size=“14px“ custom_padding=“||10px||false|false“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Can I get a residence permit for my family members as well?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The Golden Visa Program provides that members of the investor\u2019s family can also obtain a residence permit in Greece. Specifically, it is stipulated that the investor\u2019s partner, children under the age of 21 of both spouses, and the spouses\u2019 parents can apply for a residence permit.<\/p>\n

Can I work in Europe once I have obtained my Greek residence permit?<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately no, the Greek Golden VISA is not a work permit.<\/p>\n

The law does not stipulate that a residence permit obtained through the Golden Visa Program allows access to work in Greece or other states.<\/p>\n

According to the law, however, the holder of a Golden Visa can own shares in a company, work as a CEO or serve on a board of directors.<\/p>\n

After obtaining a Golden Visa, can I apply for Greek citizenship?<\/h3>\n

Yes, as the duration of possession of the residence permit counts in measuring the time required to acquire Greek citizenship. Therefore, after seven consecutive years of holding a residence permit, the investor and his or her family members can apply to acquire Greek citizenship.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=“30px“ _builder_version=“4.22.0″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_font=“Noto Serif|700|||||||“ header_3_text_color=“#084666″ header_3_font_size=“14px“ custom_padding=“||10px||false|false“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Why apply for a Golden Visa in Greece?<\/h3>\n

The conditions required by the Greek government for granting a residence permit through investment in real estate are particularly advantageous compared to those in other countries. For example, Spain and Portugal require an investment of at least 500,000 euros, double that of Greece. Moreover, Greece has proven over the years to be a thriving real estate market with great investment opportunities and large profit margins.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=“30px“ _builder_version=“4.22.0″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_font=“Noto Serif|700|||||||“ header_3_text_color=“#084666″ header_3_font_size=“14px“ custom_padding=“||10px||false|false“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Will I be able to move freely in the Schengen Area?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The Greek residence permit will allow you to move freely within the Schengen Area of the European Union, which consists of the countries that have signed agreements to abolish passport control at the border and allow citizens to move freely.<\/p>\n

What is a Golden Visa in Greece<\/h3>\n

The Golden Visa program in Greece allows non-EU citizens and their family members to obtain a Greek residency permit in exchange for a real estate investment in the country.<\/p>\n

By investing at least \u20ac250,000 in Greek real estate, or \u20ac500,000 in some areas, applicants can obtain a five-year renewable residence permit.<\/p>\n

The residence permit gives the holder the right to live in Greece, travel freely within the Schengen zone, and access the Greek education and healthcare systems. Although it does not automatically grant the right to work in Greece, it is also a first step toward obtaining Greek citizenship through naturalization.<\/p>\n

This program is particularly attractive for its relatively low investment threshold compared to other European countries. <\/p>\n

Apply for a Greek golden visa after buying a property<\/h3>\n

The ideal way to obtain a Golden Visa in Greece and a residence permit is to apply after buying the property.<\/p>\n

The interested person can then travel to Greece, find and purchase a property, and apply for a visa and residence permit.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.22.2″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_font=“Open Sans|700|||||||“ header_3_text_color=“#084666″ header_3_font_size=“16px“ header_3_font_size_tablet=“16px“ header_3_font_size_phone=“16px“ header_3_font_size_last_edited=“on|desktop“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n

Applying for a Golden Visa before having purchased a property<\/h3>\n

It is also possible to apply for a Golden Visa and residence permit before purchasing property in Greece.<\/p>\n

In this case, however, it is necessary to enter into a contract with a real estate agent to purchase a home and then submit the application based on this contract.<\/p>\n

In addition to the contract with the real estate agent, as the applicant you will also have to provide documents proving the economic viability of the transaction, i.e., the existence of bank accounts, bonds or shares capable of covering the investment of at least 250,000 euros envisaged for obtaining the residence permit.<\/p>\n

While obtaining a Golden Visa without having purchased a property may be more complex, as real estate lawyers in Greece<\/a> we will assist you throughout the whole process.<\/p>\n

Greece Golden Visa Requirements<\/h3>\n

The procedure for obtaining a residence permit in Greece through a Golden Visa is divided into two parts: the application for a special visa and the application for a residence permit.<\/p>\n

To apply for a Golden Visa in Greece, the applicant must provide the following:<\/p>\n

  • Proof of registration of the transfer of ownership with the land registry or the relevant cadastral office<\/li>\n
  • Legalized certificate of family status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The procedure for obtaining the Golden Visa then involves a brief interview at the Greek consulate, subject to an appointment that we will make.<\/p>\n

    To apply for a residence permit in Greece, the applicant must provide the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Passport valid for at least three months after the expiration date of the visa<\/li>\n
