Step 3. Registration & Dossier Preparation

Step 4. Filing the Application & Blue Slip Issuance

Legal counsel submits the digital file online. The system instantly generates the 'Blue Slip' receipt, granting temporary legal stay in Greece.

Step 5. Biometric Enrolment & Residence Card Collection

Travel to Greece with your family to submit biometric signals. The official 5-year Greek Golden Visa cards are issued and delivered via secure courier.

No, the statutory legal framework of the program strictly prohibits financing the primary eligible value with mortgages or local bank loans. The investment amount must originate fully from the main applicant's or spouse's private bank accounts and be remitted directly.

Yes, off-plan properties are fully eligible as long as the developer holds all valid construction licenses and planning permits. The notary contract must be formally executed and registered with the competent Land Registry to qualify.

Your residency is directly anchored to real estate ownership. Selling the asset leads to immediate loss of the resident status, unless you exchange it by reinvesting in another conforming property that complies with the minimum price tags.

No, there are zero residency obligations or language requirements to maintain and renew your Golden Visa card. You can renew it infinitely every 5 years without visiting the country. Language tests apply only if you choose to pursue naturalization.
