02 · Golden Visa & residency

Residency through property, structured properly.

The 2024 reform redrew the map. The €800,000 threshold now applies to Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and the islands above 3,100 inhabitants. The rest of Greece sits at €400,000.

A Golden Visa is the destination, not the route. We start with the route — the residency outcome a family wants, the time they need, and the legacy they intend to keep. The property comes second.

For most clients, we structure a multi-property portfolio through a Greek company (an ΙΚΕ — the private capital company), held in turn by a non-Greek holding vehicle the family prefers. This separates the residency basis from any subsequent asset re-organisation, and protects the threshold from market price drift on any single asset.

After issuance, we remain the family's Greek counsel. We file the five-year renewal, manage the rental compliance if the property is let, and advise on the conversion to long-term residency for those who become tax-resident.
