Greece: The Most Accessible Path to EU Residency

A €250,000 investment. A lifestyle on the Mediterranean. A European future for your family.

Key Benefits

Visa-Free Travel in Schengen Area

  • Golden Visa holders can travel visa-free throughout the Schengen Area, spending up to 90 days in any 180-day period in other Schengen countries.

No Minimum Stay Requirement

  • There is no obligation to reside in Greece to maintain your residency status, providing maximum flexibility for investors who wish to live elsewhere.

Family Inclusion

  • The program allows the primary applicant to include their spouse, children (typically up to 21 years old), and both sets of parents, granting them all residency rights in Greece.

Right to Live and Study in Greece

  • Residency holders have the right to live in Greece and access the country’s education system, including public and international schools.

Access to Healthcare

  • Residents can benefit from Greece’s healthcare system, which offers both public and private options and is ranked highly in Europe.

Pathway to Permanent Residency and Citizenship

  • The initial residency permit is valid for five years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the investment is maintained.
  • After five years, holders can apply for permanent residency.
  • After seven years of continuous residency, investors and their families may apply for Greek citizenship, provided they meet requirements such as language proficiency and integration.

Property Investment and Rental Income

  • Investors can rent out their property for long-term leases, generating passive income. Average rental yields in Greece are competitive, and the property can be sold after obtaining citizenship or if the residency permit is not renewed.

Business and Investment Opportunities

  • Residency holders can own shares and receive dividends from Greek companies, expanding business opportunities within Greece and the EU. However, direct employment in Greece is generally not permitted under the Golden Visa.

Quality of Life

  • Greece offers a high standard of living, a Mediterranean climate, rich cultural heritage, and a relatively affordable cost of living compared to other EU countries.

Tax Advantages

  • There are potential tax optimization opportunities for residents, depending on individual circumstances and proper planning. The Greece Golden Visa is widely considered one of the most flexible and familyfriendly residency-by-investment programs in Europe, offering both lifestyle and mobility benefits for global investors.
