Greece is a country located in southeastern Europe, bordering the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. It is situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula and shares land borders with Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the east. Having origins in Europe, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean, life in Greece is serene and best spent on the coastline’s numerous beautiful beaches. The Greece Golden Visa program enables this and more for investors who qualify, providing a road to Greek residency within 2-3 months.

Stop! Wait a Minute. Discover The Benefits

The Greek government introduced the Greece Residency by Investment Program in 2013 to allow genuine investors to get residency in Greece by investing in real estate. The five-year residency permit is renewable every five years if the applicant continues to own the property. Greece provides a simple path to residency, with no minimum stay required. The application procedure is fast, and there are further opportunities to apply for citizenship after a specified term.
