EUR 250,000
Programme
Residency
Key benefit
One of Europe's most affordable golden visas

Why Greece

Greece offers a celebrated Mediterranean lifestyle, thousands of islands, a rich cultural history and a warm climate.

It has become one of the most popular destinations for residency by investment, thanks to an affordable entry point and an attractive quality of life.

About the programme

Running since 2013, the Greek Golden Visa grants residency in return for a qualifying investment, most commonly in real estate.

It remains one of the most affordable routes to European residency, with a path to citizenship over time for those who choose to make Greece their home.

The benefits

What this programme offers you and your family in practice.

Residency in an EU member state

One of the lowest entry points in Europe

Freedom to travel within the Schengen Area

A route to EU citizenship over time

The whole family included

No mandatory minimum stay to keep the permit

How to qualify

There is usually more than one route. Remy will confirm which fits your goals and the current rules before you commit.

Qualifying real estate

Residency is granted through a qualifying real estate investment, from EUR 250,000, though the threshold is higher in some high demand areas. The current thresholds by location should be confirmed before applying.

Why people choose Greece

The Greek Golden Visa is one of the most cost effective ways into the EU, granting residency and Schengen mobility for the whole family.

Because there is no mandatory minimum stay, it is popular with families who want the option of Europe without an immediate move, while retaining a longer term route to citizenship.

Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible for the Greece programme?
Applicants generally need to be over 18, hold a clean criminal record, be in good health, and show that the funds used come from a legal source. All applications are subject to government due diligence.
Can I include my family in the application?
Yes, including your spouse and dependent children, and on many programmes parents and grandparents. Remy can confirm exactly who qualifies in your case.
What are the stay requirements?
Residency programmes vary. This programme has a low or no mandatory minimum stay to keep your status, though requirements apply if you later pursue citizenship.
What are the tax implications?
Host countries often have a favourable local tax regime, but what that means for you depends on your own citizenship and tax residency. US citizens in particular remain taxed on worldwide income regardless of any other passport held. This is exactly the kind of thing to map out with Remy, alongside independent tax advice.
