There is still a legal provision allowing investors to purchase real estate valued at 250,000 euros, even within Athens under specific conditions.
What is the Greek Permanent Residence Permit for Investors

The Greek Permanent Residence Permit for Investors allows non EU citizens who acquire real estate in Greece to obtain a renewable 5 year residence status. The permit grants the right to reside legally in Greece, with flexible stay requirements and the ability to include eligible family members. It is designed for foreign investors who wish to secure residency while benefiting from property ownership in Greece.

Eligibility for Foreign Investors and Property Owners

To qualify for the residence permit through property investment, applicants must purchase real estate that meets the minimum investment threshold set by law, hold full legal ownership, provide proof of legal entry and valid travel documents, and submit all required documents. Our firm evaluates each case to ensure the chosen investment fully complies with Greek regulations.
