Greece's flagship residence-by-investment programme grants a renewable five-year residence permit for a qualifying investment, most commonly in real estate. Following the 2024 reform (Law 5100/2024), real-estate thresholds are tiered by location: a higher tier for high-demand areas (such as Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands), a mid tier elsewhere, and a reduced tier for converting commercial property to residential use or restoring listed buildings. The permit covers the family and requires no minimum stay, but does not grant access to employment.
Non-EU investors seeking EU residence with no minimum-stay obligation.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
Property-based routes qualify, including buying real estate, certain hotel or tourist accommodation, long-term timeshare contracts, and land with a building or restoration project.
Yes. As a Greek residence permit, it lets you travel within the Schengen area under the standard short-stay rules.
You renew by showing the qualifying investment is still in place; selling or losing the investment can end your eligibility and that of your family.
The investor permit is granted for the purpose of investment, not employment, so it does not by itself authorise taking up local salaried work.
No. The investor permit does not impose a minimum physical-presence requirement, so you are not required to live in Greece to keep it valid.
Greece's Golden Visa grants a renewable five-year residence permit for a qualifying investment, most often in real estate. Since the 2024 reform, real-estate thresholds are tiered by location, the permit covers the family with no minimum stay, but it does not allow you to work in Greece.
Yes. The investor residence permit is designed so that close family members can obtain their own permits tied to the main applicant's investment.
