Considering residency in Greece through property investment? The Greek Golden Visa program offers an attractive option. However, there have been some recent changes to the investment requirements that you should be aware of and we, at Nest Land, wanted to keep you informed. Learn more about the updates by reading on.
Key Changes
- Increased Investment Threshold in Prime Locations: Starting September 1st, 2024, the minimum investment requirement for Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, and islands with over 3.100 residents has been increased from €500.000 to €800.000. This increase reflects the high demand and value of properties in these areas.
- Investment Criteria for Other Regions: On the other hand, if you’re considering investing in properties outside the prime locations, the minimum investment is now €400.000 (from €250.000). This gives you flexibility in choosing properties across different regions of the country while still qualifying for the Golden Visa.
- Single Property Investment: The program now requires investing in a single property with a minimum size of 120 square meters, and not in multiple, lower-value properties. This ensures a significant investment in the Greek real estate market.
- Rental Permission: You’re allowed to rent out the properties you acquire under the Golden Visa Program, providing an opportunity to generate additional income from your investment.
- Short-term Rentals: Properties purchased under the Golden Visa program cannot be used for short-term rental purposes. This rule is meant to maintain the main goal of the program: helping individuals to establish long-term residency through real estate investment.
