Greece Golden Visa
€250,000 Real Estate
5 Years, Renewable
Eligible After 7 Years
Greece Golden Visa is one of the best investment migration programs for non-EU individuals. It combines an affordable entry point with genuine lifestyle and mobility benefits — here's why thousands of global investors, including many from India, are choosing it.
No interview, no language test, and no particular qualifications required to qualify.
Travel visa-free within the Schengen area — up to 3 months in any 6-month period.
Spouse, children under 21, and parents of both investor and spouse can all be included.
You are not required to live in Greece to keep your residency permit valid.
To qualify for the Greece Golden Visa, applicants must make a qualifying investment in one of the following categories. Most investors choose real estate for its dual benefit of residency and long-term property value growth.
Minimum €250,000
Buy Greek property worth at least €250,000 — a home, a business premise, or multiple properties combined. This is the most straightforward route and qualifies you for a one-time 3.09% property transfer levy plus standard notary and registration fees.
From €250,000 – €400,000
If real estate isn't the right fit, Greece offers three additional qualifying investment routes for the Golden Visa program.
Getting a Golden Visa Greece opens doors to a range of opportunities and privileges for you and your family.

Access to Greece's healthcare system and high-quality education network for your family, with proximity to Europe's top universities.
After a 7-year continuous stay, Golden Visa holders can apply for Greek citizenship — unlocking full EU rights to live and work anywhere in the Union.
