Greece Citizenship by Investment

Golden Visa in Greece can lead to citizenship after permanent residency

Overview

There is no direct route to citizenship by investment in Greece. A period of 7 years residency in Greece is required before applying for citizenship. Residency is possible by investing a minimum €250,000 in real estate to gain a golden visa in Greece. The applicant, spouse and children up to the age of 18 can qualify. Dependent children over age 18 and parents can also qualify. Greece offers the most affordable residency through real estate investment in Europe.

Details

The first step for applicants looking to gain citizenship by investment in Greece is to apply for residency through the golden visa programme. An investment of €250,000 in real estate will lead to a golden visa typically within 40 days. This residency visa lasts for 5 years and can be renewed once it expires providing the investment level is maintained. After 7 years of permanent residency, applicants and their families can apply for citizenship of Greece.

Greece is a full member of the European Union. Citizenship in Greece and a second passport means EU citizenship which allows the holder to live, work, study and travel anywhere within the European Union. Prior to citizenship, holders of the Greek residency card granted with the Greek golden visa are able to travel visa free throughout the Schengen visa zone.
