Greece raised the Golden Visa investment threshold and banned short-term rentals of purchased properties

For new investors, the change means a higher financial threshold in the most sought-after areas and a restriction on using purchased property for short-term rentals. According to sources, the measures directly affect people planning to relocate through the real-estate investment residence route. Over time, this makes the choice of eligible properties and the financial model of relocation more constrained: the entry cost is higher and short-term rental income is unavailable. Investors should take this into account when comparing locations and residence options.
