Residence Permit in Greece — the Gateway to Europe

Getting a resident permit in Greece has recently gotten easier, but easier does not mean that the process itself has become more “user” friendly it just means that with the right knowledge you can get a resident permit easier than you ever have. Of course there is still quite a bit of paperwork to file and other restrictions that have to be overcome so it is still not a “do it yourself” process. You still need an expert in your corner that understands the process and the “ins and outs” of dealing with the Greek officials. With the right team of experts on your side you can take advantage of the new laws that have made getting a resident permit something that anyone can do. It is no longer offered only to the very wealthy as it once was.

Greece passed a new law that non-EU residents can apply for a resident permit if they invest in real estate that is valued at least at €250,000.  Eligible parties can make the investment and apply for a resident permit that can be held for up to 5 years.  Of course the next question is why you would choose to purchase real estate in Greece with the hope of securing a resident permit.

There are several reasons why our clients favor this beautiful Mediterranean oasis to apply for their resident permit.
• Easy travel to all the 26 member countries of the Schengen Area. The Schengen agreement allows travel without visas or travel documents to some of the most “important” EU countries. You have the freedom to visit, conduct business, reside, receive medical care, and attend university in any one of these countries without having to make any sort of application.
• Easy access to affordable health care options in all of the Schengen Area. Utilize affordable health care options including low medication and treatment costs with some of the type providers in the world.
• Since the global economic crisis property value has decreased in Greece which means as an investor you can scoop up investment property for very low costs and rent it out. The beauty of the program is that you do not have to occupy the property that you purchase you can lease it out and collect a steady stream of income.
• Greece is favored for relocation to the EU because of its beautiful landscape and mild climate. It enjoys around 300 days of sunshine every year. The coastal towns are rich in culture and wonderful welcoming people.
• It is the gateway to the rest of the EU.
• Greece offers fast processing times for resident permits.
• While the property prices are currently low they are climbing and there is plenty of signs indicating that the economy is on the rebound so any property investment is likely to do well and show nice returns.
• Recent changes in the law: now with the investment of 250,00 EUR the total family is included – investor, spouse, children AND parents.

Greece is a historically relevant country that has a lot to offer to families, businesses and individuals that want easy access to the possibilities that the EU has to offer. Many of our clients are enjoying all of the great advantages of having a resident permit for Greece. As one of the safest and most secure countries in the Mediterranean the attraction is clear for both investors and people that want to live with the ability to travel to many of the economically relevant countries in the EU.  A resident permit for Greece can easily open up doors that you never thought were possible.

The Program

There are a few caveats with this program that you should be aware of. You can buy property either on the mainland or one of the islands to be eligible for the resident permit. The resident permit lasts 5 years and can be renewed. After holding a resident permit successfully for 7 years you can apply for permanent citizenship.  The property can be acquired through a legal entity but the applicant has to be the 100% shareholder in the entity.  The property can be either residential or commercial as long as the minimum investment value is met.   We can help you to better understand the rules and how to easily meet the requirements to get your resident permit approved.
