Special investment options for obtaining a Greece Golden Visa
It is known that there are two exceptions in the Law, for which the investment threshold of €250,000 remains, and there is no restriction on location.
Firstly, these are non-residential properties that are being converted into residential buildings. A transfer from one category to another must be made before submitting an application for a Greek residence permit. Please note that it is prohibited to use such property as a company office. Apex has current offers for this option from the best developers in Greece.
Secondly, officially recognized architectural monuments. These must be buildings of historical interest and under special protection. To qualify for the program, such properties must be completely restored or reconstructed at the expense of the Greece Golden Visa applicant.
The Greece Golden Visa unlocks a world of freedom, granting investors and their families the right to reside in Greece and explore the Schengen Area without visa restrictions.
