The Greece Golden Visa program grants residency through qualifying investment, with minimum thresholds ranging from €250,000 to €800,000 depending on the investment structure and geographic location.
While real estate remains the most common route, the total Greece Golden Visa cost extends well beyond the purchase price of the asset and must include legal, administrative, and compliance expenses.
Applicants should budget for additional costs such as:
Costs may increase in high-demand regions such as Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini, where higher investment thresholds apply.
