Greece’s “golden visa” program has gained significant popularity among investors, primarily due to its:
- Low investment threshold of €250,000 compared to other European programs.
- Attractive rental yields, averaging 4% per annum, providing a steady stream of income.
- Favorable tax regime for non-domiciled residents.
- Access to Schengen Area, allowing visa-free travel to 26 European countries.
- Fast processing time for residency applications, typically within 2-3 months.
- Pathway to citizenship after 7 years of residency.
It’s worth noting that the investment threshold is expected to increase to €500,000-€800,000 in certain areas. Therefore, now may be an opportune time to explore the Greek golden visa program and secure your residency before the potential price hike.
