Greek Residence Permit through Investment allows:

Obtain long-term resident status

Greece offers investors exclusive conditions, granting residence permit for 5 years right away. This distinguishes Greece’s Golden Visa from most EU countries' programs, where initial residence permits are given for only 1-2 years.

Live in a developed EU country

With a residence permit, you and your family get access to almost all the rights and benefits of Greek citizens. You can live freely in an EU country with a favorable climate and rich culture.

Access to quality medical services

Greece’s healthcare system is a standard of high quality. Clinics have top-class specialists, and diagnostics and treatment are carried out according to modern international protocols.

Optimize costs for obtaining EU status

The Greek Golden Visa program is one of the most cost-effective investment immigration options in Europe (€250,000 entry level). For comparison: similar programs in Malta require investments from €375,000, and in Spain — from €500,000.

Travel visa-free within Europe

Greek residence permit opens the borders of the Schengen Zone. With this status, you can travel visa-free to 29 European countries. Residents have the right to stay in any Schengen Area country for up to 90 days within each 6-month period.

Make profitable investments in real estate

By investing in liquid real estate in Greece, you not only gain resident status but also become the owner of an asset in one of the most popular tourist countries in the world. The property can be rented out, generating passive income.

Return on investment

Greek law allows foreigners to start earning on their investments immediately after obtaining the residence permit. You can rent out your property for a stable income. After 5 years, you can sell the properties, whose value increases every year, and return the investment with interest.

Benefit from favorable tax regime

Greece offers attractive conditions for new tax residents. You can take advantage of programs that provide a fixed tax rate or exemption from taxation on your overseas business income for up to 15 years.

Access to education in the EU

Residence permit gives your children the right to free, quality education in Greece. They will also have the opportunity to enter Greek and other European universities under favorable terms.
