A qualifying property investment gives you and your family a five-year, renewable Greek residency card, free movement across the Schengen Area, and no requirement to live in Greece to keep it.
With Spain and Portugal closing their property routes, Greece is now the leading EU country where buying real estate can still earn you residency.
Travel visa-free across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
One investment covers your spouse or partner, children under 21, and the parents of both spouses.
Keep your residency card without living in Greece — use it as a second home, a plan B, or a future base.
Your investment is property you own, with the option of long-term rental income in Euros.
Residents can access Greek schools, universities, and healthcare facilities.
Those who move to Greece can apply for citizenship after seven years of residence, subject to language and culture requirements.
Depending on location and property type, qualifying investments start from €250,000.
Converting a commercial building to residential use, or restoring a listed heritage building.
All other regions — including mainland Greece, the Peloponnese, and islands with 3,100 residents or fewer.
Attica (including Athens), Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and any island with more than 3,100 residents.
