Residence by Investment in Greece
The Greece Golden Visa Programme provides eligible non-EU investors and their families with the opportunity to obtain a renewable Greek residence permit through qualifying investment.
With Greece offering access to the European Union and an attractive investment environment, the programme remains a key option for international investors seeking residence in Europe.

Residence benefits extend to eligible family members (spouse, children under 21, and parents), allowing primary investors to secure European residency for their entire family.
More Than a Property Purchase
The Greece Golden Visa process involves far more than selecting a property and executing a purchase. Investors must carefully evaluate:
● Property title clearance and legal ownership status
● Building code and urban planning compliance
● Operational and leasing restrictions (e.g., prohibition of short-term rentals / Airbnb)
● Investment path eligibility and qualifying conditions
● Required legal and tax documentation
● Transaction structuring and fund transfers
● Golden Visa application submission requirements
Conducting professional legal due diligence prior to committing funds is essential to mitigate risks and safeguard the investment.
