Greece Golden Visa Program
The Greece government launched its Golden Visa program in 2013. Between January and June 2020, more than 22,500 residence permits were issued to non-EU and non-EEA investors and their families investing in at least EUR 250,000 worth of property. Greek Golden allows visa holders to stay in Greece and travel freely within the EU and Schengen for five years as long as they retain investment property. Holders do not have to stay in Greece because renewal is possible online. During the application process, investors only need to travel to Greece once to set up a proxy with a personal signature. Investors wishing to apply for a Greek passport must reside in Greece for at least seven years.
