Greece Golden Visa

A fully managed service.

Efkolaw and its partners can help you through the process of obtaining residency in Greece by investing in property through Greece's Golden Visa Program.

 

The Greek Golden Visa program is an initiative that grants residency permits in Greece to non-European Union citizens who invest in Greek real estate. The program was established to attract foreign investment and stimulate the Greek economy. Investors can obtain a residence permit by purchasing property that is valued as low as €250,000, making Greece an appealing destination for those seeking European residency and investment opportunities.
