According to the source, Greece’s 2026 investment residence route covers real estate, businesses, securities, deposits and investment funds. The source lists an €800,000 real-estate threshold in certain high-demand areas, €400,000 in other areas, a €250,000 route for qualifying commercial properties converted into housing, and €400,000–€500,000 thresholds for some alternative investments.
For investors, this means that the property type and location directly determine the minimum budget and transaction structure. The source also identifies alternatives to standard residential purchases, including certain commercial properties converted into housing and several financial instruments. In practice, applicants should match the investment route to the program’s requirements before committing funds or preparing the residence application. This is particularly relevant to investors using the Golden Visa as a relocation pathway rather than merely buying property, so it is worth reviewing before planning the budget and filing documents.
