What Is the Greece Golden Visa Program?

The Greece Golden Visa grants non-EU investors, through a real estate investment with a minimum value of €250,000, a residence permit renewable for 5 years . It offers visa-free travel within the Schengen area, the right to live in Greece, access to healthcare and education services, and the opportunity to apply for citizenship after 7 years of residence .

There is no residency requirement — short visits for biometric procedures are sufficient. With its flexibility, fast processing time and long-term advantages, it is among Europe's most attractive residence permit programs.

Key Advantages
  • Typical timeline: Approximately 4-6 months (depending on the file and the competent authority)
  • Low threshold: An investment starting from €250,000
  • Family included: Spouse, children under 21 and parents
  • No residency requirement: Travel whenever you wish
  • Path to citizenship: The right to apply after 7 years
  • Schengen access: Visa-free across 29 European countries

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum investment for the Greece Golden Visa?
From an investment starting at €250,000 — depending on the region and property type, €400,000 or €800,000 tiers also apply. In our free consultation, let's determine the tier that suits your profile together.
How long does it take to obtain the residence permit?
The timeframe may vary depending on the status of your file and the workload of the competent Greek authorities; it is generally completed within 4-6 months. Avla's commitment is one-on-one advisory and end-to-end process management to be by your side at every stage.
Can my family obtain the residence permit too?
Yes. The spouse, children under 21, and the parents of the main investor or their spouse can be included in a single application.
Do I have to live in Greece?
No. The Golden Visa program has no minimum-stay requirement — you can travel whenever you wish.
When can I apply for an EU passport?
After 7 years of legal residence in Greece and meeting the language/integration requirements, you may apply for Greek citizenship.
What about my tax obligations?
