Greek Golden Visa and Property Investment in Crete

If you’re a non‑EU buyer looking for a residence permit in Greece through real estate investment, the Greek Golden Visa is one of the most established pathways. In simple terms: you invest in qualifying real estate, submit the required documentation, and apply for a renewable residence permit that can also include close family members (spouse, children, and parents).

Investment requirements are location- and property-type dependent. In many areas of Greece, the minimum investment for standard residential purchases is in a lower tier than the highest-demand locations.

There are also special routes, such as qualifying renovations or conversions, that may follow different thresholds and conditions. Rules change, so eligibility should always be confirmed before you sign or pay deposits.

Important investor note: recent legal changes have affected how Golden Visa properties can be used for rentals. If rental income is part of your strategy, plan conservatively and verify compliance with your legal advisor (we can introduce trusted professionals)
