Greece Updates Golden Visa Rules: What You Need to Know

Описание: Greece has introduced new rules that finally bring clarity to the Golden Visa program and unblock thousands of pending applications.

After months of uncertainty caused by changes to the Golden Visa laws in 2023 and 2024, the Greek government has now issued a new ministerial decision. This decision clearly defines which properties qualify for the Golden Visa and what documentation is required, allowing applications that were previously stuck to move forward.

In this video, we explain:
• Why more than 13,000 Golden Visa applications were frozen
• Which property types were previously unclear under the law
• How commercial buildings converted into homes are now eligible
• How listed and heritage properties can qualify
• How buying land and building a home can count as a Golden Visa investment
• What is required to renew a Golden Visa residence permit
• How standardized documentation will speed up the process

These updates provide much-needed certainty for buyers, lawyers, and developers, and restore confidence in Greece’s Golden Visa program as one of Europe’s most attractive residency-by-investment options.
