Program Overview
Most Affordable and Efficient EU Program
The Greek Golden Visa is one of the most established residency-by-investment programs in the European Union. It grants the main applicant and their family residency rights in Greece — with full visa-free travel across the Schengen Area — in exchange for a qualifying real estate investment.
Unlike most European programs, there is no minimum stay requirement, making it ideal for international families who value flexibility.
