Golden Visa
In July 2015, the Greek government updated its migration policy concerning residence permits.
According to the new regulations, upon purchase of a property with a value of at least 250.000 Euro, investors and their families fulfill the necessary requirements to obtain a 5-year residence permit with the option of continuous renewal, provided that the property remains in their ownership. They are also entitled to apply for Greek citizenship after 7 years, as long as they have lived in the country for an uninterrupted period of at least 5 years.
A Panorama Village apartment can secure the desired Golden Visa. Our lawyers can provide additional information regarding the Greek migration policy, upon request.
