View Eligible PropertiesWhat is the Greek Golden Visa?
The Greek Golden Visa program, introduced in 2013, allows non-EU citizens to obtain Greek residency through real estate investment. It's one of the most popular residency-by-investment programs in Europe.
With a minimum property investment of €250,000 for qualifying conversions (€800,000 in high-demand areas, €400,000 in areas with fewer than 3,100 residents), you and your family gain the right to live and travel freely within the Schengen Area. The program has no minimum stay requirements, making it ideal for investors who want to maintain their primary residence elsewhere. Note: Golden Visa holders may not take salaried employment in Greece, but may engage in business activities and remote work.
