The Greece Golden Visa program, in effect since 2013, offers residency in Greece (and access to the Schengen area) in exchange for investment.
Key points of the program.
1) Real estate investment: the minimum threshold starts at €250,000 in less popular areas.
2) However, in August 2024, a differentiated threshold was introduced for popular areas: in Attica, Santorini, Mykonos, and other areas, it rose to €800,000.
3) Discounts are possible: for properties requiring renovation or conversion, the threshold remains €250,000.
4) The visa is issued for 5 years, with the possibility of extension if the investment is maintained.
5) The visa holder can include their spouse, children under 21, as well as parents and parents of their spouse without having to prove dependency.
Current trends and investor interest
Following the closure of the “golden visa” program in Spain and other countries, Greece is becoming one of the main destinations for investors, and interest from Americans has already grown significantly.
The procedure for issuing a residence permit is becoming faster — in some cases, residency is granted in about 60 days.
