Now's the best time to invest in the Greek Golden Visa

The Greek Golden Visa programme continues to be one of the best programmes to secure Greek residency as well as to gain greater access to the Schengen area.

Currently, the entry price for the Greek Golden Visa is €250,000, but Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, recently announced that this will increase to €400,000 and to as much as €800,000 in prime areas. Now is the best time to take advantage of the Greek Golden Visa.

Investors may still apply under the current €250,000 threshold if:

• a 10% deposit is paid by 31 August 2024, and
• the investment is finalised by 31 December 2024.
• If the property purchase is not completed on time, investors are allowed to finalise their investment in another property no later than 30 April 2025.

All other provisions of the current Golden Visa law remain unchanged.

About the Greek Golden Visa

Launched in 2013, the Greek Golden Visa Programme is an attractive pathway offering visa-free access to the Schengen Area, ideal for both business and leisure travel. The programme is designed with families in mind, allowing not only spouses and minor children to be included, but also unmarried, financially dependent children up to the age of 21.

A standout feature of the Greek Golden Visa is its inclusivity towards parents, allowing them to be part of the application without the need to prove financial dependency. Furthermore, if your children are over 18, they can be the primary applicant and include you in their application, which can be fully funded by the parents. This comprehensive approach makes the Greek Golden Visa a versatile and family-friendly option for global mobility.
