Greece

The Residency Program in Greece by Investment is preferred by many investors. That’s why it is one of the most popular Golden Visa programs. For the Greece Golden Visa Program, there is an investment limit of €500,000 in major cities such as Athens and the famous Greek islands, while the investment limit in other regions is €250,000. A 5-year residence permit is issued upon first application and can be used to enter Schengen areas. There is no minimum time requirement to spend in the country during the year.

Children up to the age of 21 are included in the program, but their session is canceled at the age of 24. It is a program that directly accepts the parents of the person who invests in the Greece Golden Visa program. Citizenship application can be made after 7 years.

First, the applicant must apply for an entry visa to Greece via the standard visa procedure. This is issued through the Greek embassy or consulate in the applicant’s country. The entry visa allows investors to finalize the investment transaction and legal process in Greece.

After the investor makes a Golden Visa-focused investment, the required document list must be collected. These documents will be handed over to the Aliens and Immigration Service branch of the Decentralized Authority located near the property in question in Greece. Once the documents are submitted, the main applicant and his or her dependents must visit the country to provide their biometric data to immigration authorities. Golden Visa cards will be issued once the government approves the application.
