Greek Golden Visa Program
Residency by investment in Greece through compliant residential real estate.
The Greek Golden Visa program offers non-EU investors and their families long-term residency through qualifying real estate investments. Bisvest Hellas structures residential projects that meet the program’s legal requirements while maintaining long-term value and livability.
What Is the Greek Golden Visa?
The Greek Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment program allowing non-EU nationals to obtain a renewable residence permit by investing in qualifying real estate in Greece. The permit grants freedom of movement within the Schengen Area and can include the investor’s immediate family members.

-
No minimum stay requirement

How the Program Has Evolved?
Until 31 August 2024, investors could obtain the Greek Golden Visa by purchasing standard residential apartments starting from €250,000, including projects like The Piraeus Condos. Following regulatory changes, the minimum investment threshold for standard residential properties in Athens was increased.
Today, the €250,000 entry threshold remains available only through specific categories, including licensed commercial-to-residential conversions. This regulatory shift has fundamentally changed which projects qualify for Golden Visa eligibility.
