Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before you proceed.

These answers provide a general orientation. Your appointed lawyer, notary and technical advisers must confirm the rules that apply to your individual investment and application.

01 Who can apply for the Greek Golden Visa?

The programme is generally intended for qualifying third-country nationals who complete an eligible investment and satisfy the applicable residence-permit requirements.

02 Which family members may be included?

Eligible family members may be included subject to the relationship, age and supporting-document requirements in force at the time of application.

03 What are the current property-investment thresholds?

The main property routes currently include thresholds of €800,000, €400,000 and qualifying €250,000 special-property categories. The correct route depends on the location, property type and transaction structure.

The property-investment route does not generally require permanent relocation. Personal immigration, tax and residence-planning implications should still be reviewed independently.

07 How long is the residence permit valid?

The applicable validity period and renewal requirements should be confirmed by the immigration lawyer handling the application under the rules in force.

08 Can Estate Key manage the property after purchase?

Yes. Estate Key can coordinate property preparation, maintenance, inspections, tenant placement and ongoing long-term property management under an agreed service scope.
