The Golden Visa Program
GENERAL FOR VISAS
The Greece Golden Visa program allows non-EU citizens to obtain residency in Greece through an investment, but it does not require physical residency in Greece to maintain the permit. While you can live in Greece with the Golden Visa, there's no obligation to do so, and you can even. The right to live in Greece comes with public healthcare and education benefits as well maintain the permit while residing elsewhere.
TRAVEL IN THE SCHENGEN AREA
The Greek Golden Visa program, introduced in 2013, allows non-European Union (EU) nationals to secure Greek residency through real estate investments. Originally, the minimum investment was set at €250,000. However, as of September 1, 2024, new regulations have come into effect, establishing a dual-zone system with two distinct investment tiers based on geographic regions.
TIER 2
€400,000
Applies to all other regions of Greece, making it more accessible for investors and encouraging investment in a broader range of locations, helping distribute economic benefits across the country.
For both tiers, the investment must be made in a single property of at least 120 square meters and cannot be used for short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb).
TIER 1
€250,000
The cheapest Golden Visa program in the EU, based on minimum investment, is Greece's Golden Visa, requiring a €250,000 real estate purchase. This allows non-EU citizens to obtain residency and gain access to the Schengen Area. While other countries like Portugal also offer Golden Visas, Greece's program is known for its affordability, especially for real estate investment.
The 250.000 Golden Visa is a special program that was created and refers to commercial buildings converted to residential units.
