Greece Residency

The Greece Golden Visa program was launched in 2014.

The most popular investment option is the purchase of a residential or commercial real estate for €250,000.

Greece requires the least amount of investments in real estate among EU countries granting residence permits by investment. Moreover, the property can be rented out. The investor can get permanent residence and sell the property in five years.

Investors don’t have to take Greek language proficiency tests or history exams. They are also not required to live in Greece to renew their residence permit.

If foreign investors become Greek tax residents, they can use benefits. The investor pays a flat tax on their global income — €100,000 per annum. The investor’s close relatives can also take advantage of the benefit and pay €20,000 per annum.

Without the exemptions, the global income tax is levied on a progressive scale of up to 45%.

EU citizenship in 7 years

If the investor lives in Greece for five years, they can get permanent residence. After another two years, such a permanent resident can apply for citizenship.

From 2021, all citizenship applicants hold a written exam in the language, culture, history, geography and governmental system.

Greece allows its citizens to hold several passports.
