Why Greece?
The most accessible EU residency path — backed by a strong property market and favorable tax framework.
Greek property continues to show strong fundamentals. Athens has marked nine consecutive years of price growth, with rental yields averaging 5-6% and reaching up to 10% in prime tourist zones.
Total Greek property value reached €782.5 billion in 2026, with Attica — including the Athens Riviera — accounting for more than half of the national market.
For foreign investors, this means a property purchase functions as both your residency qualifier and a tangible long-term asset in one of Europe's most resilient real estate markets.
Premium Real Estate Market
The Greek Golden Visa is one of the most affordable residency-by-investment programs in the European Union. Minimum investment starts at €250,000 in qualifying cases, compared to €300,000–€500,000 required by most other EU residency routes.
The program offers full Schengen access across 29 European countries, family inclusion (spouse, children under 21, dependent parents), and — uniquely — no minimum stay requirement. You maintain your residency without relocating, making Greece a practical European base whether you visit twice a year or live full-time.
Most Accessible EU Residency
Greece's non-dom tax regime offers foreign investors a flat €100,000 annual tax on their worldwide income earned outside
Greece -regardless
of how much that income totals.
The regime can be maintained for up to 15 years, and includes exemptions from Greek inheritance and
gift taxes on assets located
outside the country.
Combined with corporate tax at 22% (below the 24.2% OECD average) and 5% dividend tax (vs. 24.7% OECD average), Greece offers a structurally competitive tax environment for international wealth.
Favorable Tax Framework
Investment Thresholds
The Greek Golden Visa offers three investment tiers depending on the property's location. PharosGreece coordinates qualifying property selection at every threshold.
€250,000+
Specific Property Conversions
Available for commercial-to-residential property conversions, or properties in buildings of historical significance — provided full renovation is completed before the first 5-year permit renewal. The lowest-cost entry point, suited for investors comfortable with restoration.
€400,000+
Most Mainland Regions & Smaller Islands
Standard threshold for property purchases in most mainland regions of Greece — Halkidiki, the Peloponnese, central Greece — and on smaller islands with populations
under 3,100 residents.
Ideal for investors seeking residency with broader location flexibility outside the premium tier zones.
€800,000+
Athens Riviera &
Premium Islands
Required for properties in Attica (including the Athens Riviera), Thessaloniki, Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini,
and other Greek islands
with populations over 3,100 residents.
Whichever threshold suits your plan, Pharos Greece has the solution.
Through our partner network, we coordinate access to over 10,000 properties across Greece — supported by legal, notarial, and insurance professionals operating in Athens, Thessaloniki, the Peloponnese, and the islands.

is the right fit and what your specific path looks like.
We introduce you to our real estate partners. Together we curate properties matching your investment threshold and preferences, arrange viewings, and support you through negotiation.
We attend your first viewings personally.
Our partner law firm -led by an experienced Athens based attorney specializing in Golden Visa cases- handles all legal aspects: property due diligence, contract review, notarial deed, and the Golden Visa application itself.
You can complete the process remotely with power of attorney, or attend in person — your choice.
Once your application is submitted, the residency permit is typically issued within 2-4 months.
We personally arrange your mandatory insurance through Interamerican and remain your trusted Greek advisor throughout your 5-year residency period — handling renewals, ongoing insurance, and questions along the way.
From your first call to your residency permit and beyond
— one trusted advisor, one coordinated process.
