Golden Visa in Greece – Real Estate Investment Opportunities in Thessaloniki & Halkidiki
Looking to obtain a residence permit in Greece through real estate investment? The Greek Golden Visa program is one of the most attractive residency-by-investment schemes in Europe, offering investors and their families the right to live in Greece and travel freely across the Schengen Zone.
🔹 Golden Visa in Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, is a vibrant urban hub with a rich cultural heritage and strong real estate potential.
-
Investors who purchase residential or commercial real estate in Thessaloniki worth at least €800,000 qualify for the Golden Visa program.
-
Alternatively, the Golden Visa can be granted for a minimum investment of €250,000, provided the property is either:
-
A commercial property to be converted into residential use, or
-
A listed or preserved neoclassical property, which adds architectural and cultural value.
-
🔹 Golden Visa in Halkidiki
Known for its crystal-clear waters and luxury holiday homes, Halkidiki is a premium location for international property investors.
-
The minimum required investment for a Golden Visa in Halkidiki is €400,000, applicable to select properties in high-demand areas.
🔹 Other Eligible Regions in Greece
Although some zones such as Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini now require a minimum investment of €800,000, there are still multiple Greek regions where the entry threshold remains €250,000, depending on the location, type, and use of the property.
