Investment citizenship and residence permit

Alphatek Advisors provides services for obtaining a residence permit or citizenship through investments. One of the best programs for obtaining a residence permit is Golden Visa in Greece. Requirements for investors willing to apply for a “golden visa” in Greece by investing money in local real estate are specified in Article 20 of Law 4251/2014. According to the text of this document, citizens of third countries (that is, non-EU countries) who:

• Own real estate as an individual in the amount of more than 250 000 euro;
• Own commercial real estate for tourism purposes (as the sole proprietor of a legal entity) in Greece, and the lease agreement has been signed for at least 15 years;
• Were not judged in the past and are not in the Register of undesirable persons of Greece.

Any individual who is a citizen of a third country and fully meets all the criteria set out above without exception may submit both individual and collective applications for a Greek residence permit through investments in local housing. In addition to the main investor, applications of the second type may include such members of his family as spouse, children under the age of 21, as well as parents.

The following are the benefits of Golden Visa:

• The right to the visa-free crossing of the borders of all the signatory countries of the Schengen Agreement without exception and the presence in the territory of such countries of destination is practically without any restrictions in terms of time.
