Prices are the developer's "starting from" figures and exclude taxes and fees; the programme itself is set by the Greek state and the team confirms eligibility case by case.
Why invest in Greece
Compared to other EU countries offering permanent residency by investment, Greece is among the best choices. In a privileged and strategic location, it is the ideal base for investors seeking business opportunities in Europe or wishing to take their business global, with top-quality logistics and communication infrastructure and access to the high-growth emerging markets of the Balkans and the Southeastern Mediterranean.
Greece's decade-long economic crisis left real estate undervalued: compared to other West European capitals, property prices are still low and competitive. As economic activity recovers, prices are on the rise, so Estia believes now is a good time to invest.
No residence requirement
Unlimited expiry date of the residence permit, as long as the investor owns the property
The opportunity to rent out the investment property
Residence applies to the whole family: spouse, children under 21, parents and in-laws
Eligibility to apply for citizenship after 7 years of residence
