Greece Golden Visa Your Investment
Main Applicants need to invest or donate a minimum of:
400.000 Euros
into Properties of 120 square- meters, Located in Chalkidiki or Kavala Regions of Greece
250.000 Euros
into Properties of any area, Located anywhere in Greece - yet converted from Commercial into Residential Use
While there are Company and Fund-related routes to Greece Golden Visa, subscription to them is less than 1%. So, we deem these options as irrelevant to discuss. Greece Golden Visa is essentially a Residency by Property Investment Program.
Yet, it is critical to decide which property to invest in.
- Properties converted from Commercial into Residential are available at 250.000 Euros, more affordable than the rest. However, these properties are generally smaller in area – and it is more than critical to check their value on the second hand market, to avoid buying a property that would be sold for much less. Please note that short-term rentals are not available in any way, for such properties – further limiting their rental potential.
- Properties in Chalkidiki and Kavala are available at 400.000 Euros, less affordable than the Converted Properties. However, they are required to be 120 square-meters in net area- a huge advantage in favour of the Investor. Furthermore, through Property Management Companies – they are available at the short-term rental market, advancing their rental potential.

In case your country does not issue a family certificate, you will need a state document from your country – to prove that your country only issues marriage and/or birth certificates. In that instance, you can replace the Family Status Certificate with marriage certificates for spouses and birth certificates for descendants or/and ascendants.
