The Programme
Residency by Investment
The Golden Visa grants a five-year renewable residency permit to non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment in Greece. The permit grants the right to live, work, and travel freely within the Schengen Area.
The programme has attracted billions of euros in foreign investment since its launch in 2013 and has been consistently ranked among the most attractive residency-by-investment schemes in Europe.
What Changed
2025 Reforms
The 2025 reforms introduced tiered investment thresholds. In Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini, the minimum investment was raised to €800,000. In other areas of Greece, the threshold remains €400,000.
