Investment Value
Whilst there are a number of investment options for the Greece Golden Visa, by far the most popular type of investment is the acquisition of real estate.
The minimum investment amount for purchasing property is €250,000 and can include more than one property.
There is no restriction on the type and number of properties purchased – it can include residential, commercial or land plots as long as the total contractual purchase price reaches the minimum threshold. Investors can purchase property together, providing each investor spends the minimum required amount.
In 2023, the minimum property purchase price was increased to €500,000 in certain areas. These include the localities of Thessaloniki, Santorini, Mykonos and in the North, Central & South sectors of Athens. In such cases, applicants may only invest in one property.
