• €250,000 (Throughout Greece): This category includes private projects involving the conversion of commercial properties into residential ones, as well as historic buildings subject to restoration requirements. There is no square meter limit.

• €400,000: These are residential real estate investments in regions such as the Peloponnese (Mora Peninsula), Thessaly, and Central Greece, provided that the property is at least 120 m² in size and constitutes a single property.

• €800,000 (Premium Areas): Covers the purchase of a property—land or commercial space—of at least 120 m² in Athens and Thessaloniki or on islands with a population of more than 3,100.

Immediately after you complete your investment and submit your online application via a Power of Attorney (PoA), a “Blue Document” (Temporary Residence Permit) will be issued. With this document, you can travel to Greece without a visa while the process is ongoing. Depending on the workload of the immigration offices, it takes an average of 3 to 5 months for your permanent residence card to be printed and delivered after you provide your official biometric data (fingerprints).

Yes, Greece offers the “Three Generations, One Application” benefit. With a single investment made by the principal applicant:

• Your spouse,

• Your unmarried children under the age of 21,

• Both your parents and your spouse’s parents will be eligible to receive a Golden Visa residence card at the same time, without any additional investment requirements.

No, there is no requirement to reside in or physically be present in Greece under the Golden Visa program. You can maintain your residency status without disrupting your life and work in Turkey. However, according to current regulations, residential properties purchased under the 400,000 € and 800,000 € thresholds cannot be rented out on a short-term basis (such as through Airbnb); income in euros can only be generated through long-term, traditional rentals. In 250,000 € conversion projects, rental flexibility varies depending on the specific project.

Your Greek Golden Visa is issued for a period of 5 years. At the end of the 5-year period, as long as you continue to hold the property or investment you purchased, your visa will be renewed indefinitely every 5 years for life, without any additional conditions, language requirements, or residency obligations. In addition, investors who meet the requirements for uninterrupted legal residence in Greece become eligible to apply for full EU citizenship after 7 years.
