Investing in the specified legal categories: €250,000 (conversion of commercial property to residential use, restoration of historic buildings, €400,000 (investment in a 120 m² residential lot or commercial space outside the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki) or 800,000 € (investment in a residential or commercial property of at least 120 m² in Athens, Thessaloniki, or on islands with a population of more than 3,100)
The entire investment amount must be legally transferred to the Seller’s bank account in Greece.
€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: Real estate investments of at least 120 m² in areas outside Athens and Thessaloniki or on islands with a population of fewer than 3,100, provided that the property is a single-unit 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 valid for life; your card is simply renewed every 5 years. At the end of the 5-year period, as long as you continue to hold the property or investment you purchased, your card 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 are eligible to apply for full EU citizenship after 7 years.
The Initial & Planning phase begins with a preliminary profile analysis conducted in collaboration with advisors as the first step in the process. Next, a detailed list of required documents for the necessary procedures is compiled, and finally, the preparation process is concluded by completing the investment review using the online portfolio.
Once the official procedures phase begins, the first step is to obtain a power of attorney (PoA) certified by a consulate or notary. Following this, a tax ID number is obtained and the necessary funds are transferred. The process continues with the execution of official property title or asset purchase transactions.
In this final stage, which culminates in the issuance of a residence card, you must first submit an online application to obtain the Blue Document. You will then make a one-day trip to Greece to provide your fingerprints.
