The Greek Residency Golden Visa Program, initiated in 2013, allows individuals from outside the
EU, along with their families, to acquire permanent residence permits in Greece by making an
investment. This program grants a five-year residence permit, which can be renewed indefinitely
in five-year increments as long as the applicant maintains ownership of the real estate
property.
Greece's advantageous location in Southeast Europe places it at the crossroads of Europe, Asia,
