Greek Residence Permit through Investment allows:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After the 5-year period, the residence permit can be easily extended for another period, provided the investment is retained. In the future, you can apply for Greek citizenship.
Participation in the Greek “Golden Visa” program gives you the opportunity to:
Take advantage of one of the most family-friendly immigration programs. Along with you, your spouse, children, and parents (under 21) can also obtain EU residency.
The Golden Visa program exempts you from the requirement to live in Greece to maintain residency status. You and your family can stay in the country only as much as you need.
Become a resident of a developed EU country in just 3-4 months. The Greek program guarantees quick processing of your application and obtaining status based on your investments in a short time.
Obtain residence permit without bureaucratic complexity. The process does not require investors to take language tests or pass any exams.
