Preconditions for Residency

The following conditions must be fulfilled to receive a permanent, renewable residence permit:

• The property must be owned by and be in possession of its owners.
• In cases of joint ownership, where the value of the property is €250.000, the residence permit is only granted if the owners are spouses with undivided ownership of the property. In all other cases of joint ownership, the residence permit is only granted if the amount invested by each of the joint owners is at least €250.000.
• If the owner has acquired the property through a legal entity, the applicant must own 100% of the company shares.
• The Greek residence permit is also granted in cases where the third country citizen is the owner, either directly or through a legal entity, of more than one real estate property with a combined value of at least €250.000.
