FAQ
View all FAQs Frequently asked questions
Who can apply for the Greek Golden Visa?
The programme is open to non-EU/EEA nationals aged 18 or over who make a qualifying investment that meets the applicable conditions. Eligibility is assessed individually, and nationality alone does not change the legal conditions. Every application is subject to standard eligibility and due-diligence checks.
Is €250,000 the minimum investment for every Golden Visa property?
No. The €250K route applies only to specific qualifying cases defined by the applicable legal framework. Other property investments may be subject to different thresholds, including €400K or €800K, depending on the location and type of qualifying investment. The exact conditions should be checked against the current rules before proceeding.
Can I apply without living in Greece full time?
Yes. The standard investor residence permit has no minimum-stay requirement, so you do not need to live in Greece full time, provided the qualifying investment and the other legal conditions continue to be met. Time spent outside Greece may matter for other purposes, such as tax residence or later naturalisation. This applies to the Golden Visa investor permit only, not to other routes or to citizenship.
Which family members may be included?
Generally the spouse or partner, qualifying children and parents, subject to the conditions in current law. The precise definition of each category, and the supporting documents, are confirmed in your eligibility review.
How long does the process take?
No single timeline applies to every case, and no universal end-to-end figure should be promised. Timing varies with the route, the transaction, document readiness, biometrics and authority processing, and any official processing figure applies only to the stage it describes.
