The Greek Golden Visa program is one of the most popular residency-by-investment programs in Europe. It enables non-EU/EEA citizens to receive temporary residence permit in exchange of financial investment in Greece, The GGV holder enjoys all the benefits of becoming an EU citizen, including free travelling within the Schengen Area.
Benefits
Having a Greek Visa allows your family and you to live in Greece with all public healthcare and educational benefits for everyone.
There is no limitation as regards the duration of your stay, not even a minimum stay period requirement.
The residence scheme allows the applicant to include the whole family (married spouse, children under 21 years old and parents of the main applicant and spouse) and enables All Family members to enjoy GGV benefits. No other European Golden Visa program provides this Extended Family benefit.
Schengen Area signifies a zone of 27 European countries whose borders are not open for free movement except for people who hold a permanent residency or long-term permit who are the only ones to freely move around Europe.
Real estate investment in Greece is one of the most profitable investment types. Property prices are on the rise from the historic lows. Among the Golden Visa programs in Europe, Greece has the lowest investment threshold.
According to the Greek double taxation treaty, income earned outside of Greece while living in Greece is not taxed. Thus, a person operating a company outside Greece benefits from tax-free foreign profits.
