What is it?
Program Overview
The Greece Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment program that allows non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals to obtain legal residency in Greece by making a qualifying investment. One of the most accessible European investor visas, it offers a structured route to long-term residency and (eventually) permanent residency and citizenship, subject to eligibility and compliance with Greek immigration requirements.
This program is popular for individuals and families seeking European mobility and lifestyle benefits without the need for employment sponsorship or strict physical stay requirements.

Eligible Investment Options
To be eligible for the Greece Golden Visa, applicants must make a qualifying investment that meets one of the minimum thresholds below:
1. Real Estate Investment
€250,000 real estate investment — eligible when the property qualifies under Greece’s conversion or restoration categories
€400,000 real estate investment — general threshold for properties outside high-demand areas
€800,000 real estate investment — properties in prime areas such as central Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and other major islands
Real estate may be either residential or commercial, and investors can combine multiple properties to meet the minimum amount, provided each investment qualifies individually.
2. Alternative Investment Options
Beyond real estate, there are qualifying investment alternatives that may include:
Equity or corporate investments in Greek companies or funds with minimum thresholds (typically higher than real estate minimums)
Bank deposits or financial instruments held in Greek financial institutions above a specified threshold
Investment funds or other approved vehicles where investment meets program criteria
These alternative options provide flexibility for investors who prefer financial instruments over physical property.
