Program Details
Greece permits those who invest a minimum of €250,000 into residential property to obtain a five-year residence permit. This permit can be indefinitely renewed for five years at a time as long as the property is held.
In 2015, Greece introduced new legislation to allow non-EU citizens who stay in Greece continuously for seven years to become citizens. This is the most economical and fast way to get residency in an EU country, with the possibility of citizenship in the future.
Additional Government fees will apply.
