Your route to residency in Greece
The Golden Visa through real estate investment — two options: our partners' portfolio in Greece, or research tailored to you.
Greece combines a Mediterranean way of life with one of the last Golden Visa programmes in our markets that is still open to real estate investment. It suits investors who want an EU residence permit for their family and an asset that works for them, without having to move full time.
We work with trusted local real estate and legal partners in Greece and coordinate the whole process: understanding your goals, researching the market, selecting and checking the property, completing the purchase and filing the residence application.
How we choose the property
Independent advice, broad market access. LAVCOM Partners is not a real estate agency: we are an independent advisory firm that acts on the investor’s side. In every country where we operate, we provide access to a current, verified property portfolio through carefully selected, licensed partner firms, and we complement it with market research tailored to each investor’s budget, objectives and timeline. Our recommendations are guided by the investor’s interest, not by a sales target, and every property undergoes legal and technical review before any purchase decision. In Greece, our partner on the ground manages viewings, negotiation and the closing.
Who this suits
- Families who want an EU residence permit without relocating full time.
- Investors who want a property that produces rental income while holding an EU foothold.
- People planning ahead for EU access for their children’s education or future mobility.
What we do not promise
Investment minimums and programme rules are set by the Greek government and have changed before; we confirm the current terms for your target area before you commit funds, rather than quoting a single number that may be out of date. We also don’t promise a rental yield — we show you realistic comparables for the area and let you decide.

Frequently asked questions
How much do I need to invest for the Greek Golden Visa?
The minimum investment depends on the region and property type — it is higher in Athens, Thessaloniki and other high-demand areas, and lower elsewhere. We confirm the current threshold for your target area before you commit, since it has changed more than once in recent years.
Does my whole family get residency?
Yes. Your spouse, children under 21 and dependent parents can be included in the same application.
Do I have to live in Greece to keep the Golden Visa?
No minimum stay is required to keep the permit, which is part of why this route suits people who want an EU foothold without relocating full time.
Should I buy an off-plan or a completed property?
It depends on your goal. Completed property gives an immediate rental yield and a clearer valuation; off-plan can offer a better entry price but carries construction and delivery risk. We ask about your priority — capital growth, rental income or personal use — before recommending either.
Can the property be rented out?
Yes, and many investors buy specifically for rental income. We flag properties and areas with realistic rental demand as part of the research, and note where local rules affect short-term rentals.
How long does the process take from offer to residence permit?
The purchase itself typically takes a few weeks once financing and due diligence are in order; the residence permit is filed after completion and processed by the Greek authorities on their own timeline. We keep you informed at each stage rather than promising a fixed date.
