About Greeceنبذة
The Greece Golden Visa gives non-EU investors a five-year residence permit, renewable, through a qualifying investment in Greece. Under Law 5100/2024 the real estate route requires a single property of €800,000 in Attica, the Thessaloniki regional unit, Mykonos, Thira and islands over 3,100 population, or €400,000 elsewhere, with at least 120 m² of main spaces; €250,000 is reserved for commercial-to-residential conversions and listed-building restorations. Capital investment routes are also available. The permit allows visa-free travel across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180, imposes no minimum stay, and extends to immediate family members, including spouse, children up to 21, and dependent parents. Naturalisation requires seven continuous years of actual lawful residence, and the investor permit counts toward it. Greece offers a unique combination of rich history, scenic islands, vibrant cities, and a robust economy.
No minimum stay requirement to maintain residency.
Non-tax-residents are taxed only on Greek-sourced income.
Short-term letting of the qualifying property is banned.
Naturalisation after 7 continuous years of actual lawful residence; the investor permit is a qualifying residence title.
Visa-free travel across the Schengen Area.
