Greece Golden Visa: Europe's Most Profitable "Plan B" Investment
The Greece Golden Visa program is not just a "residence permit" for Turkish investors, but also a safe haven that provides Euro-based rental income. Among programs offering visa-free entry to the European Union (Schengen), it continues to be the most popular program offering permanent residence with the lowest investment threshold (with exceptional cases).
At Rona Legal, we provide legal and financial guidance to help you find the most suitable and profitable property in the complex "Region and Pricing" system updated in 2026.
What Does Golden Visa Give You?
Schengen Freedom
You and your family (spouse, children under 21, parents) can travel visa-free to Schengen countries.
No Residence Requirement
You don't have to live in Greece to maintain your residence rights.
Euro Income
You can earn regular foreign currency income by renting out your purchased property.
Path to Citizenship
If you reside in Greece for 7 years and meet the language requirement, you can apply for a Greek passport.
ATTENTION: 2026 New Investment Limits and Regions
To prevent the housing crisis, the Greek government has divided investment limits into 3 different categories by region. Knowing this map is essential for the right investment strategy:
€800,000 (Prime Regions)
Central Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with a population over 3,100. If you want to apply for Golden Visa by buying a standard residence in these regions, the minimum investment amount is €800,000.
€400,000 (Developing Regions)
Greek mainland excluding the first category (e.g., Piraeus, Patras, etc.) and other regions require a minimum of €400,000 for standard residential investment.
€250,000 (Rona Legal Exclusive Opportunities)
This is the legal "exception" category most preferred by our investors. Regardless of the region (including central Athens), the minimum limit is still €250,000 for properties meeting the following conditions:
Commercial → Residential Conversion
Purchasing a property with commercial use (office, shop) and converting it to residential.
Restoration Projects
Purchasing historic or industrial buildings with a restoration commitment.
💎 Rona Legal Portfolio: We have exclusive projects in the €250,000 range with completed conversion processes that comply with Golden Visa requirements.
Step-by-Step Application Process
Greek bureaucracy can be complex, but with proper legal management, the process for you is just signing documents.
Property Selection and Legal Audit
Is the title clean? Are there mortgages? Does the property meet Golden Visa criteria (square meters and zoning status)? Our lawyers conduct detailed "Due Diligence" on your behalf.
Power of Attorney and Tax Number
Without needing to come to Greece (or with a single visit), a power of attorney is issued for conducting transactions and your Greek Tax Number is obtained.
Purchase and Title Transfer
The investment amount is transferred to a bank account in Greece and the title is registered in your name.
Application and "Blue Paper"
Upon application, you and your family are given a temporary document (Blue Paper) that allows visa-free travel to Greece.
Biometrics and Card Issuance
Shortly after providing fingerprints, your 5-year permanent residence cards are delivered.
