For global investors, the Greek Golden Visa is a premier strategic tool. It secures not only unrestricted travel across Europe's 29-country Schengen Zone but also a valuable asset in a stable EU market with strong potential for capital growth and rental yields. This guide provides a clear, data-driven analysis of the program, ensuring you can navigate your investment with confidence and precision.

Full Family Residency
A single investment secures a stable future for your entire family. The residency permit extends to your spouse, children under 21, and the dependent parents of both spouses, ensuring all family members receive the same rights and protections.

World-Class Lifestyle
As a resident, you gain access to Greece's exceptional quality of life, including its high standard of safety, robust healthcare system, and temperate climate. It also unlocks opportunities for your children to attend high-quality European and international schools.

Pathway to Citizenship
The Golden Visa is the first and most critical step on a clear pathway to full EU citizenship. After fulfilling residency requirements over seven years, you become eligible to apply for a Greek passport, granting the ultimate freedom to live, work, and study in any EU member state.
