Your Gateway to Residency in Europe
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 Strict Eligibility
No interview, no language test, and no particular qualifications required to qualify.
Visa-Free Schengen Travel
Travel visa-free within the Schengen area — up to 3 months in any 6-month period.
Family Inclusion
Spouse, children under 21, and parents of both investor and spouse can all be included.
No Residency Requirement
You are not required to live in Greece to keep your residency permit valid.
Investment Options
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.
Real Estate Investment
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.
- Single property or combined portfolio
- Tax benefits on real estate holdings
- Long-term property value appreciation
- 5-year renewable residency permit
Lease, Company & Capital Transfer
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.
