To be eligible for the Golden Visa program of Greece, a qualified investment is a must. This can be achieved by purchasing a property at a bare minimum price of €250,000 or directing a minimum of €400,000 towards government bonds or capital shares. Nevertheless, the minimum threshold for real estate investment required for a Golden Visa will increase to €500,000 ($532,000) soon. The Golden Visa lasts for five years and remains perpetually renewable, subject to maintaining the investment.
Aside from the investment, you must meet the eligibility requirements of the Golden Visa in Greece. These criteria include being over the age of 18, not having a criminal record, and having the financial resources to invest. You must also be a non-EU/EEA country citizen, have medical insurance for yourself and your family, and provide the necessary documentation for Greece Residency by Investment.
To qualify for a Golden Visa in Greece, you do not need to speak Greek. If you intend to apply for Greek citizenship after seven years in Greece, you will need to complete a Greek language test as well as a civic test.
Under the Greek Golden Visa program, investors can keep their non-Greek tax residency and pay taxes only on income earned in Greece, not money earned elsewhere. Greece also has a non - domicile program for those who have their residence elsewhere but are still Greek residents, imposing a flat tax of €100,000 on shipowners, businesses, and retired foreign investors over 15 years. Furthermore, according to the Greek double taxation treaty, income earned outside Greece while living in Greece is not taxed. However, rental income from real estate in Greece is taxed at a progressive rate ranging from 15% (for income up to €12,000) to 45%.
No, you cannot work in Greece with a Golden Visa. The Golden Visa is a residence permit, not a work permit. It allows you to live in Greece, but you cannot work in Greece or any other EU country without a separate work permit. Nevertheless, there are alternative means to make revenues, such as renting the property purchased or earning interest on the investment made.
