Golden Visa (Residence Permit for Investors)

Greece's flagship residence-by-investment programme grants a renewable five-year residence permit for a qualifying investment, most commonly in real estate. Following the 2024 reform (Law 5100/2024), real-estate thresholds are tiered by location: a higher tier for high-demand areas (such as Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands), a mid tier elsewhere, and a reduced tier for converting commercial property to residential use or restoring listed buildings. The permit covers the family and requires no minimum stay, but does not grant access to employment.
