The Greece Golden Visa Program is a residence-by-investment program that enables non-EU citizens and their family members to obtain permanent residence permits in Greece. The residence permits may be renewed every five years.
It is the most competitive permanent residency scheme in Europe. The key advantages are:
The Greece Golden Visa program requires a real estate investment of €250,000 (net of V.A.T.). The investment can be made in land, off-plan, new or resale properties as long as the minimum value is met.
-
In cases of joint ownership, where the value of the property is €250,000, the residence permit is only granted if the owners are spouses with undivided ownership of the property. In all other cases of joint ownership, the Golden Visa is only granted if the amount invested by each of the joint owners is at least €250,000.
-
If the applicant has acquired the property through a (Greek or EU) legal entity, the applicant must own 100% of the company shares.
-
The investment can be in a single property with value exceeding €250,000 or in multiple properties with total value exceeding €250,000.
Non-EU citizens who have made an investment through the Greek Golden Visa program, can apply for a residence permit through a proxy, without the obligation to previously visit Greece. The non-EU citizen, must enter Greece in a period of 12 months from the date of the confirmation receipt of the application, in order to submit his biometric data.
