Official Golden Visa Requirements in Crete
Hellenic Properties · English · Ελληνικά · Русский
€250,000 — Specialised qualifying property
This route concerns one qualifying property, including an eligible conversion to residential use or a qualifying listed-building restoration. The 120 m² minimum does not apply to the change-of-use route. The legal conversion must be completed before the residence application; listed buildings have separate restoration and renewal requirements. Not every €250,000 property qualifies.
These are official Greek Government requirements, not commercial criteria set by Hellenic Properties.
Residence and family benefits
Qualifying non-EU investors may apply for a five-year renewable Greek residence permit. Eligible family members include the investor’s spouse, the parents of both spouses and unmarried children under 21, subject to the programme’s family, custody and documentation requirements. Registered partners may qualify where recognised under the programme. Renewal requires retention of the qualifying investment and continued compliance. Short-stay Schengen travel remains subject to applicable rules.
A carefully coordinated process
Private consultation → property selection → independent legal and technical review → acquisition → residence application and biometrics. Hellenic Properties coordinates the property process alongside appointed advisers. Final approval rests with the Greek authorities.
Frequently asked questions
Does every €250,000 property qualify?
No. The property must meet the specific legal and technical conditions of an eligible category.
Do I need to live in Greece?
No minimum physical stay is required to maintain the permit, provided all other conditions remain satisfied.
Can the property be rented?
Golden Visa properties are subject to letting restrictions, including prohibitions on short-term letting and subletting. Have the intended use reviewed by independent Greek counsel.
Does fractional investment qualify?
Not automatically. The fractional investment offer is separate from a qualifying Golden Visa property acquisition.
Does residence mean citizenship?
No. Naturalisation is a separate process with its own residence and integration requirements.
General information only, not legal, tax, immigration or investment advice. Rules and eligibility may change. Obtain independent professional advice before acquisition.
