Greece’s Golden Visa investment thresholds are now fully tiered under a three-zone system introduced by Law 5100/2024 and confirmed through KYA 214926/2025. The minimum investment required depends on the location and type of property:

• Zone A – €800,000: Athens (Attica Region), Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and islands with a population exceeding 3,100 inhabitants.
• Zone B – €400,000: All other mainland Greece and smaller islands (population below 3,100 inhabitants).
• Zone C – €250,000: Commercial or industrial properties converted to residential use, and listed buildings undergoing full restoration — eligible nationwide.

All transitional deadlines that previously allowed investors to lock in the former flat rate have now closed. New applications are subject to the current thresholds in full, with no exceptions. At the same time, following Spain’s exit from residency-by-real-estate in April 2025, Greece stands as the last major EU country offering a real estate–based Golden Visa route, making it a strategically important programme for investors worldwide.

The commercial-to-residential conversion pathway (Zone C) remains the most accessible entry point at €250,000 nationwide. KYA 214926/2025 (Government Gazette B’ 6014/11.11.2025) put an end to months of uncertainty by codifying exactly what documentation a qualifying conversion requires — most importantly, an engineer’s attestation confirming the property’s status and legal compliance. This gave notaries the clear legislative backing they needed to proceed with confidence, and the market moved accordingly. Properties acquired under this pathway cannot be used as a registered company seat or branch, and short-term rentals (Airbnb, Booking.com, and similar platforms) are prohibited — violation carries an administrative fine of €50,000 and revocation of the residence permit.

Our Golden Visa services include:

– Property Search: We help you identify the right property across all three investment zones that meets the Golden Visa programme requirements. Our network of experienced professionals gives you access to a wider range of options in the real estate market — including qualified Zone C conversion properties where the engineer’s attestation under KYA 214926/2025 is already in place.

– Due Diligence: We conduct a thorough legal and technical analysis of the property to confirm it meets all current requirements for the Golden Visa, including zone classification, conversion completion date, cadastral status, building regulation compliance, and the mandatory engineer’s report.

– Contract Formation: Having a notary public on our team gives us a decisive advantage in ensuring that every contract includes the necessary Golden Visa clauses — covering the KYA 214926/2025 engineer attestation, the short-term rental prohibition, seller warranties on the legality of the conversion, and full compliance with Law 5038/2023 as amended by Law 5100/2024.

– Visa Application: We manage all paperwork and legal procedures from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and successful application process from the notarial deed through to permit issuance.
