Property, Investment & Residency in Greece
Golden Visa · EU Residency · Investment
With its Aegean and Ionian coastlines, year-round sunshine, strong tourism economy and one of Europe's most accessible investor residency programmes, Greece is a favourite among international buyers. From the Athens Riviera to Thessaloniki, Crete and the Cyclades, it offers homes and investment options for every budget.
Buying property in Greece
Foreign nationals can own property in Greece. The process involves obtaining a tax number (AFM), opening a Greek bank account, legal due diligence by a lawyer and signing the purchase contract before a notary. At Kiyi Global we manage every step — from property selection to land registry — together with local lawyers and notaries.
Five-year residency with the Golden Visa
Investors who purchase property above the required threshold can obtain a renewable five-year residence permit for themselves and their family. There is no minimum stay requirement and the permit allows free movement within the Schengen Area.

Can foreigners buy property in Greece?
Yes. Foreign nationals can buy residential property in Greece. Some border areas require an additional permit, which is handled during legal due diligence.
What is the minimum investment for the Greek Golden Visa?
It depends on the location: €800,000 in Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with more than 3,100 residents; €400,000 elsewhere. A €250,000 threshold applies to commercial-to-residential conversions and restoration of listed buildings.
Do I have to live in Greece to keep the permit?
No. There is no minimum stay requirement. The permit is renewed every five years as long as you keep the property.
How much are the purchase costs?
Typically the 3.09% transfer tax plus notary, registry and legal fees add up to roughly 5–6% of the purchase price. VAT treatment on new builds is assessed separately.
