The Greek Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment program that grants non-EU nationals and their families the right to live, work, and travel within the Schengen Area. The program is particularly attractive due to Greece's rich history, Mediterranean lifestyle, and affordable cost of living.​

Updated Investment Requirements (2025)

As of March 31, 2024, Greece revised its Golden Visa investment thresholds to better align with regional property values. These changes are fully effective in 2025

Investment Zones & Minimum Amounts

• €800,000 Investment Zone: Applies to high-demand areas such as Attica (including Athens), Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and islands with populations exceeding 3,100 inhabitants. 
• €400,000 Investment Zone: Covers all other regions and islands in Greece

Exceptions to Investment Thresholds

Certain property types allow investors to qualify for the €250,000 threshold 

• Converted Commercial Properties: Purchasing a commercial property and converting it into residential use qualifies for the €250,000 minimum investment 
• Listed Buildings: Investing in and restoring listed buildings also qualifies for the €250,000 threshold, provided the restoration is completed before the Golden Visa application.

The Greek Golden Visa program offers a unique opportunity for non-EU nationals to gain residency in Europe. With the recent changes in investment requirements and regulations, it's essential for prospective investors to stay informed and act promptly. Consulting with legal and real estate professionals can provide valuable guidance tailored to individual circumstances.​
