The applicant can include in the application their spouse, their children under 21 years of age, and, very competitively compared to other programs, the parents of both spouses (both of the main applicant and the spouse), guaranteeing the residence of the entire family unit.

Although real estate investments starting at €250,000 are the most popular way to acquire physical assets, the regulatory framework allows for capital diversification through financial assets. This includes investing in other assets such as local stocks, Greek government bonds, or authorized private equity funds, with a minimum investment of €400,000 in these cases.

Not automatically. In accordance with our tax prudence policy, obtaining immigration residency does not trigger international tax obligations. An investor is only required to declare their worldwide income in the destination country if they acquire tax residency status (which typically occurs by physically residing in Greece for more than 183 days in a calendar year). If they do not transfer their tax residency, they will only be taxed on locally generated income, such as rental income from the property.

To ensure the viability of the application before submission, the main applicant and their dependents must provide a completely clean criminal record certificate issued by the authorities of their country of origin. Furthermore, regulations require the purchase of a health insurance policy with an authorized company that provides comprehensive healthcare coverage within the territory of Greece.

As this is a program of high international prestige, financial transparency is essential. Investors must submit a robust dossier that provides documented proof of the free availability and traceability of their capital. This requires submitting bank statements and consistent supporting documentation that certifies the legitimate origin of the funds before making any international transfers to the receiving account in Greece.

No, this is one of the program's greatest strategic advantages compared to other global alternatives. The Greek government does not impose any minimum annual physical presence requirement. The investor and their family can choose never to travel to the country or to visit only for vacations, and the 5-year permanent residency will still remain fully valid and renewable indefinitely, as long as ownership of the investment is maintained.
