The Residence Permit for Investment Activity (Golden Visa) is a particularly attractive option for third-country nationals seeking to obtain legal residence in Greece through strategic investment. To successfully submit the application, specific supporting documents must be collected, which are subject to strict review by the competent authorities.
Required Supporting Documents
- Certified copy of a valid passport or travel document recognized by Greece
- Any valid entry visa, residence permit, or certificate of submission of an application for another residence permit
- Private insurance policy from an insurance provider covering healthcare services in Greece
- Legal documents proving the investment (e.g. purchase agreements, property titles, payment receipts, company documents, proof of fund transfers, etc.)
- Proof of payment of the application fee (€2,000)
Application Process: Fully Online Submission
The application for both the initial issuance and subsequent renewals of the Golden Visa must be submitted exclusively online. You submit your documents to any competent Greek authority, either:
- The Department of Foreigners and Immigration of the Decentralized Administration, or
- The Residence Permit Directorate of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
You will receive a temporary residence document after submitting your application, allowing you to remain in Greece legally while your permit is processed.
