The Greek Advantage
Why Greece, Why Now
Greece combines EU membership, Mediterranean lifestyle, and a disciplined investment migration framework that remains competitive despite rising thresholds across Europe. With competing programs in Portugal and Spain curtailed or under political pressure, Greece remains one of the last credible EU real estate–based residency programs.
For investors in North America and Latin America, Greece increasingly serves as a Plan B jurisdiction: stable, lifestyle-driven, and fully embedded in the EU legal framework
.
Global Mobility
The Schengen Key: Travel visa-free across 27 European countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
No Stay Required: Maintain your global lifestyle in the Americas with zero obligation to reside in Greece to keep your permit.
Family Inclusion: One investment covers your spouse, children under 21, and the parents of both partners
Tax Optimization
For Non-US Citizens
- €100,000 Flat Tax: Eligible investors can cap their tax liability on all foreign-sourced income at a flat annual rate for up to 15 years.
- Family Extension: Add family members to this favorable tax regime for just €20,000 per year, per family member.
- Wealth Protection: No inheritance or wealth tax on assets held outside of Greece.
Strategic Investment
- Low Entry Points: Access European residency starting at €250,000 for specific redevelopment projects.
- High-Demand Hubs: Invest in premium residential assets (minimum 120 sqm) in Athens, Thessaloniki, or the South Aegean islands starting at €800,000. In mainland Greece and lower-density regions, the investment minimum for single residential properties is reduced to €400,000.
- Competitive pricing: Athens properties remain 40-60% below comparable Mediterranean capitals.
- A Rising Market: Benefit from a booming real estate sector driven by record-breaking tourism and government pro-investor reforms.
