The programme

A residence permit that also works as an investment

The Greek Golden Visa gives non-European investors and their families the right to live in Greece and travel freely across the Schengen area, in exchange for a qualifying real estate investment. Unlike most residency routes, the capital is not a fee — it stays in an asset you own, can rent out, and can sell.

The advantages of the Golden Visa

  • Long-term residency right
  • Ability to live, study and invest
  • Ability to sponsor family
  • 100% ownership of businesses
  • Freedom to travel across the Schengen area
  • Discounts and offers on health care and hospitality

How we work

From first call to residence permit

A single point of contact throughout. You can complete every stage from abroad.

  1. Consultation

    We map your objectives, family situation and budget against what the programme currently allows, and tell you plainly whether you qualify.

  2. Property search

    Our researchers shortlist qualifying properties from the commercial and residential markets, backed by our network of offices in every major Greek city.

  3. Banking & due diligence

    We open a Greek bank account in your name — with or without your presence — and run legal checks on the property before a euro moves.

  4. Purchase & application

    Our legal and financial team completes the purchase and files the Golden Visa application for you and your family at no additional cost.

  5. After the permit

    Renovation, letting, tax and property management — we keep the asset earning while you decide what comes next.

Why us

Multinational by construction, not by marketing

Our multinational business background guarantees a deep understanding of your professional needs. We respect your time, we are efficient and totally loyal to your investment.

  • Legal support included

    A lawyer works on your file and is paid by us — not billed back to you as an extra line at the end.

  • You never have to fly in

    Bank account, purchase and application can all be completed while you are anywhere in the world.

  • Financial analysis, not sales talk

    Every property is assessed on yield, market conditions, zoning and resale — the same way we would assess it for our own portfolio.

  • We stay after the visa

    Renovation, letting and management keep the asset productive long after the permit is issued.

The programme

Questions investors actually ask

Can I rent the property out on Airbnb to cover the costs?
No. Short-term letting through holiday-rental platforms is prohibited for property held under a Golden Visa, and so is subletting. Breaching this costs you the permit and a € 50,000 fine. A long-term lease is permitted and is what we normally arrange.
Do I have to move to Greece?
No. There is no minimum stay and absence from Greece is not a ground to refuse renewal. Most of our clients complete the whole process without setting foot in Greece until the permit is ready.
Can I buy two cheaper properties to reach the threshold?
No. The investment must be a single property meeting the threshold for its area, and at least 120 m² of main areas in the € 800,000 and € 400,000 tiers.
Who can I include in the application?
Your spouse or civil partner, unmarried children under 21 — extendable to 24 — and the parents and grandparents of both you and your spouse.
Does the permit lead to Greek citizenship?
Not automatically. The Golden Visa is a residence permit. Naturalisation is governed by separate law and requires genuine long-term residence in Greece, which the Golden Visa does not oblige you to have. We will tell you plainly what your situation allows rather than imply a path that does not exist.

This page is general information about the programme, not legal or personalised investment advice. Eligibility, thresholds and timelines are set by the Greek authorities and can change.

What the permit does and does not give you

Time is important.

We can apply and work for you while you are anywhere in the world. Call or email us for more information.
