YOU ASK WE ANSWER

Can I get a permanent residency in Greece if I buy a real estate property or make a financial investment?

The program grants a five-year residence permit that can be renewed indefinitely if the investment continues. The Golden Visa allows the applicant and his family to live in Greece permanently. Permanent residence permit is valid for life if the investment continues. There is no limit on how long you can stay. On the other hand, there is no minimum length of stay, either.

How long do I have to live in Greece to keep my Greece Golden Visa?

The Golden Visa for Greece is issued for five years and can be renewed indefinitely if the investment is maintained. However, there is no minimum-stay requirement, by means that the Golden Visa holders are not required to stay in Greece, or visit Greece, during the period that they hold the Golden Visa. Still, it is required to return every five years to update the biometric data.

Who is considered a family member?

Primary applicant’s family members can also obtain Golden Visa and residency permits. This includes:

Spouse of the applicant. In the event of a divorce, the ex-spouse may lose the right to residency if their permit is based on their marriage to the primary applicant.
Biological or adopted children of the primary applicant or spouse who are under 21 years old. Children over 21 who are financially dependent on the primary applicant (in some cases). Children who turn 21 while holding a residency permit can extend it until they turn 24 if they are unmarried and financially dependent on the primary applicant.
Parents of both the applicant and their spouses.
