Investment.

 

An investment of €250,000 is required in real estate in Greece making the Greek programme the lowest investment level of any real estate residency visa scheme in Europe. The property, which can be located anywhere on the Greek mainland or the islands, can be either residential or commercial. Any number of properties can combine to make up the €250,000 minimum investment. Joint buyers can combine investments into one property.

As an alternative to real estate, the investment can be:

  • a capital investment of €400,000 in a company registered in Greece

  • a €400,000 investment in Greek government bonds

  • a €400,000 deposit in a Greek bank

  • Purchase of shares or corporate bonds with a minimum acquisition value of EUR 800,000
