GREEK GOLDEN VISA PROGRAM – Permanent Residency by Investment

What is Greek Permanent Residency?

Greek Permanent Residency, known widely as the Greek Golden Visa, is an appealing route for non-EU citizens to achieve residency through investments. The program, introduced in 2014 under Law No. 425, is now one of the leading residency-by-investment initiatives across the EU. A key highlight is the EUR 250,000 minimum investment threshold, which makes it highly competitive compared to similar programs. Savva & Associates LTD ensure that the entire process—whether securing investment properties or leasing—is efficiently completed.

The Greek Golden Visa program provides an opportunity to extend benefits to the applicant’s family members. Applicants can include their spouses, children, and parents in the residency application. By allowing multi-generational residency under a single investment, the program ensures stability for families. Eligibility requires that investments fall within the relevant tiers: EUR 250,000, EUR 400,000, or EUR 800,000, depending on the location. Savva & Associates LTD offers personalized advice, ensuring clients make the right investment choice.
