Greek Golden Visa Program (Real Estate Investment)

Greece is located in the southeastern corner of Europe, at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. On land, it borders Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Albania to the north, Turkey to the east, and is surrounded by the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the southwest. As the cradle of Western civilization, Greece not only boasts a rich history and a splendid culture but also, with its pleasant Mediterranean climate, high-quality living environment, and highly attractive immigration policies, has become a popular destination for global investors and immigrants.

According to the updates made by the Greek government on the 5100/2024 Greek immigration bill: Third-country citizens who are at least 18 years old can obtain a Greek permanent residence visa by purchasing property worth over 250,000 euros within Greece.
