Greece Golden Visa Program (Permanent Residence)

The Golden Visa for Greece is one of the most popular investment visa programs in the EU. It is a residence-by-investment visa, issued to non-EU citizens who make a significant contribution to the Greek economy. There are several investment options, but the most common route is through purchasing real estate worth at least €250,000 which gives you a permanent residency (PR Card) for life. What’s more is that your family is also eligible for the PR card and you can get it within 10 days!

Golden Visas issued by the EU Member States such as Greece are especially coveted, as they may eventually lead to citizenship and thus access to the EU.

Eligibility Criteria

  • You must be over the age of 18.
  • You must not have any history of criminal records, in any country in which you have lived.
  • You must make a significant investment of €250,000 in Greece.
  • You must have obtained health insurance from a company operating in Greece.

Benefits of the Greek PR Card:

  • The Greek Permanent Residency Program at just €250,000 is the cheapest in Europe. Also unlike other programs, this is not a donation. You are investing in a property, which can give you a good rental yield and capital appreciation.
  • You can extend the visa to include your family members, like your spouse, (unmarried) children under 21 years of age, and dependent parents of either yourself or your spouse. If your child is over the age of 21, but no older than 24, and they are a student, they may also be included in the Golden Visa application.
  • You can apply for Greek citizenship after seven years of residence. Greece is an EU Member State, so you would have access to the EU free market and visa-free travel to more than a hundred countries.
  • A Greek PR card allows you to travel to any Schengen country without a visa. You don’t need to enter through Greece and you can fly in from anywhere.
  • There is no minimum stay requirement. All that is required is for you to visit Greece only for one day every 5 years.
  • Greece is location at the crossroads of the three continents and is well connected to all global destinations.
  • Greece has gone through a recession and growth is picking up now. Property prices are at reasonable valuation currently, with a great potential to offer promising rentals.
  • Greek PR cardholders can access the healthcare system in Greece, which is one of the best in Europe. They also have full free access to the Greek education system from primary school all the way to the university.

Duration of a Greece Golden Visa

The Golden Visa for Greece is issued for five years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain the investment. If you ultimately choose to live in Greece, then after seven years of continuous residence, you can also apply for Greek citizenship.
