What is the minimum investment amount?

From €250,000 in most of Greece. In high-demand areas (Athens centre, Mykonos, Santorini, Thessaloniki) the minimum is €500,000. The threshold applies to the total purchase price including VAT.

Do I need to live in Greece to keep my permit?

No — there is no minimum stay requirement. You can maintain your Greek residency permit without living in Greece, making it one of the most flexible programs in Europe.

Can I rent out my property?

Yes — you can rent your property through platforms like Airbnb or through a property management company. Rental income is subject to Greek income tax.

How long does the process take?

Property purchase typically takes 2–4 months. Golden Visa approval follows in 3–6 months after application submission. Total timeline: 5–10 months.

Can I apply for Greek citizenship?

Yes — after 7 years of legal residency and meeting language/integration requirements, you may apply for Greek citizenship, which grants full EU citizenship.
