The opportunity
Europe’s most sought-after golden visa.
Greece offers a renewable residence permit granting the right to live in an EU and Schengen state, with no obligation to spend time there. It is consistently among the most sought-after programmes in Europe.
Standard real estate thresholds now sit higher in prime areas, but two specialist routes remain at EUR 250,000: the restoration of listed buildings, and the conversion of commercial property to residential. Citizenship may be sought after seven years.

A specialist real estate route from EUR 250,000.
Considered within the whole
A residence is the start of a relationship with a jurisdiction — its tax, its time, its obligations. We weigh each option against where you are taxed, where your wealth sits, and where your family intends to be, so the decision serves the whole picture.
Important information
The basis on which we advise.
The figures shown are minimum qualifying investments and are indicative only.

Nothing here is an offer or a solicitation.
