About the program
The Greek Golden Visa grants a 5-year renewable residence permit to non-EU nationals who purchase qualifying real estate in Greece. It is one of Europe’s most popular investor-residency routes thanks to its comparatively low entry point, no-stay policy, and full Schengen access.
Minimum investment levels vary by region — with higher thresholds in the most sought-after Athens, Thessaloniki, and island locations, and lower thresholds in less-populated areas.
