Greece’s “Golden Visa” – program features from relocation

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.

Indonesia’s Golden Visa program has already attracted nearly $2.9 bln

Indonesia’s Golden Visa program, launched in July 2024, has already attracted nearly $2.9 billion in investments and issued more than 1,000 permits, according to official statistics.

As of September 23, 2025, 1,012 golden visas had been issued, bringing in capital of 48 trillion Indonesian rupiah (approximately $2.9 billion).
Of these investments, 46.5 trillion rupiah (about 96%) came from foreign companies, with the rest coming from private investors.

The visa is valid for 5 or 10 years, depending on the size of the investment. For private investors, there are thresholds: $350,000 for 5 years and $700,000 for 10 years (in bonds, stocks, deposits, etc.).

For corporate investors, the requirements are higher: $25 million in investments for 5 years and $50 million for 10 years.
The program provides benefits and simplifications: priority at airports, simplified immigration procedures, and legal certainty for investors.
