GOLDEN VISA

The Greek Golden Visa Program, initiated in 2013, presents an exclusive chance for non-EU citizens and their families to acquire a five-year residency by investing in real estate. Through this program, investors can gain a renewable Greece Residence Permit, enabling them to enjoy extended stays in the country. To qualify for the Greek Residency, the Government has stipulated two different property investment category levels for Residential Real Estate, depending in which area it is located in. Citizenship Invest has an inventory of pre-checked projects to ensure all necessary permits are in place to qualify an applicant for the Residency visa. The inventory is continuously updated according to availability and new offers. Investors must purchase the property before submitting the Residency application..

GREECE RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT LAW

On 18th April 2013, Greece introduced Law 4146/2013 giving Non-EU citizens and their family members the right to obtain Residency Permits by investing in Real Estate in Greece. The allowance for these types of residency permits has been integrated into the existing Law 3386/2005 “Entry residence and social integration of third-country nationals in Greece.” According to Article 36A of the Law, a five-year Residency Permit can be granted to Non-EU citizens who own or purchase real estate in Greece, the value of which exceeds 250,000 euro. In July 2015, Greece introduced new amendments to Law 4251/2014 under the Law 4332/2015, giving Non-EU citizens the right to obtain citizenship if they reside in Greece for 7 consecutive years, providing they stay in Greece for a minimum of 180 days for each year.
