THE GREEK GOLDEN VISA: YOUR ELEGANT GATEWAY TO EUROPE
In a world where freedom, flexibility, and security are the ultimate luxuries, the Greek Golden Visa stands out as one of the most attractive residency-by-investment programs in Europe. With its recent evolution into a more sophisticated, sustainability-conscious framework, Greece now offers UHNWIs and family offices not only a home in Europe—but a long-term strategy for legacy, lifestyle, and intelligent investment.
At Calista Real Estate & Consulting, we specialise in guiding our clients through the Greek Golden Visa process with elegance, discretion, and strategic foresight.
WHY CHOOSE THE GREEK GOLDEN VISA?
1. Residency for the Whole Family
Obtain permanent residency for you, your spouse, children under 21 (up to 24 if studying), and even your parents. This five-year renewable residency permit comes with no requirement to live in Greece—just the freedom to enjoy it. It grants the eligibility to apply for Greek citizenship after 7 years of residence.
2. Visa-Free Schengen Travel
Once granted, your Greek residency card grants you and your family visa-free access to 27 European countries, streamlining business, leisure, and lifestyle across the continent.
3. Attractive Investment Thresholds
With the latest reform (Law 5100/2024), Greece now offers three investment tiers:
• €250,000: For restoration projects or conversions of heritage/commercial buildings into residences. Applies to any region in Greece and for properties of any size, provided that the property is converted to residential use before the investor receives their residence permit.
• €400,000: For properties in less-saturated markets across mainland Greece and lesser-known islands including Chalkidiki and the Peloponnese. The investor must purchase a single property of at least 120 sqm.
• €800,000: For high-demand areas such as Athens Riviera, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, Santorini and other Greek islands with populations exceeding 3,100 residents. The investor must purchase a single property of at least 120 sqm.
Calista curates off-market opportunities in all three zones—balancing capital appreciation with lifestyle potential.
4. A Lifestyle Without Compromise
From ancient amphitheatres to world-class beach clubs, Greece offers a life of unmatched beauty and balance. Aegean island estates, hilltop vineyard villas, and neoclassical mansions in Athens all await, blending cultural depth with modern elegance.
5. Strategic EU Base with Tax Benefits
While the Golden Visa itself does not trigger tax residency, Greece offers attractive non-dom tax regimes, flat-rate income options, and real estate incentives for those wishing to relocate or structure assets more efficiently within Europe.
