How much?
The statutory threshold is the starting point — not the entire assessment.

QUALIFYING INVESTMENT THRESHOLDS
CAPITALGREECERESIDENCE
THE ROUTE IS THE INVESTMENT
The important question
isn't simply how much.
It is where the capital goes, how the investment is structured, what it invests in, who manages or holds it, and whether the arrangement satisfies the applicable residence framework.
What exactly?
Shares, bonds, funds, deposits and other structures can have very different requirements.
Who manages it?
The investment vehicle, issuer, institution or manager needs to fit the relevant framework.
What must remain?
Holding, custody and evidence requirements matter after the initial investment is made.

Different requirements.

SAME AMOUNT. DIFFERENT INVESTMENT.
€350,000 doesn't
mean the same thing.
Two investments can have the same price and completely different legal characteristics. The investment amount is only one part of the assessment.
Underlying assets matter.
Fund or manager eligibility matters.
Regulatory status matters.
Holding and documentation matter.
FROM STRATEGY TO RESIDENCE
How the financial
route works.
A qualifying investment is not simply selected from a menu. The route needs to be understood, verified and properly documented.
Define the objective
Understand whether the investor is looking for securities, managed funds, Greek business exposure, government bonds, deposits or another qualifying structure.
Identify the eligible route
Match the intended strategy against the applicable statutory category and investment threshold.
Verify the structure
Confirm the relevant fund, organisation, issuer, intermediary, custody arrangements and regulatory requirements.
Execute the investment
Complete the investment through the appropriate financial institution or intermediary and according to the relevant requirements.
Document & maintain
The investment and its continued holding need to be capable of being evidenced throughout the relevant residence process.
OUR APPROACH
We don't believe the
Golden Visa should
dictate your investment strategy.
The objective is not to push an investor toward the first qualifying product available. The right route depends on objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements and wider investment strategy — with the residence requirements assessed alongside those considerations.
Discuss Your Investment StrategyBEFORE CAPITAL MOVES
The structure needs
to make sense.
We focus on the points that determine whether an intended financial investment can actually support the residence strategy.
01
Structure
Is the investment vehicle actually within the applicable statutory category?
02
Eligibility
Does the fund, organisation, issuer or instrument satisfy the relevant requirements?
03
Custody
Where is the investment held and how can the investment be documented?
04
Evidence
Can the investment and its continued holding be properly certified?
