01How does the €250,000 commercial-to-residential conversion route work?

Under the updated framework, properties whose main spaces are converted from commercial to residential use qualify at the €250,000 threshold across all regions of Greece, provided the conversion is fully completed prior to submitting the Golden Visa application.

02Is there a minimum square meter requirement for Golden Visa properties?

Yes. For standard €400,000 and €800,000 residential property routes, the qualifying property must generally have a minimum main-use area of at least 120 square meters.

03Can my family members be included in the Golden Visa application?

Yes. The primary applicant can include their legal spouse, unmarried children under the age of 21, and the dependent parents of both the main investor and spouse.

04How long must I retain the property to maintain residency?

The Golden Visa residence permit is valid for 5 years and can be renewed indefinitely every 5 years as long as you maintain full ownership of the qualifying real estate asset.
