Greece Golden Visa 2026 — What You Need to Know

In this article

    The Golden Visa of Greece remains one of the most popular in Europe, offering investors from non-EU countries a five-year renewable residence permit through the purchase of property.

    What Changes in 2026

    In recent years, the minimum investment amounts have been revised depending on the area. Today, the thresholds range from 250.000€ to 800.000€, with the premium areas of Attica requiring higher amounts.

    This means that strategic location selection is more important than ever. An experienced advisor can identify opportunities in areas with a lower threshold but strong growth prospects.

    Key Advantages

    Free movement within Schengen — access to 30+ European countries without a visa.

    Family coverage — spouse, children up to 21 years old, and the parents of both spouses.

    No residency requirement — you do not need to live in Greece permanently.

    Rental potential — the property can generate income through long-term rental.

    The Importance of the Right Partner

Choosing a reliable advisor with a proven track record — such as Residences, with more than 100 approved applications — can make the difference between a smooth process and time-consuming complications.
