Limits and drawbacks

Properties bought under the golden visa cannot be let on short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb; the government tightened this in 2025.
The permit gives residence, not citizenship. Naturalisation requires seven years of effective residence and a Greek language test — a far higher bar than the permit itself, and one we could not reconfirm against an official source for 2026.
A newer startup route through the Elevate Greece platform is reported at 289,000 USD since late 2025, but its exact legal basis was not identified; confirm it directly before relying on it. Note that Law 5275/2026 is a separate tech-employment visa, not this route.
The official detail pages were unreachable on the verification date, so the geographic thresholds rest on concordant professional sources pending reconfirmation.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Greece specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
