Greece

EU residency & rental income. One acquisition.

Why Greece

A qualifying property in Greece delivers two outcomes simultaneously.

Greece is one of the few investment markets in the world where a single property purchase generates EUR-denominated rental income and secures your family’s right to live, travel, and work across the Schengen Area. The Greek Golden Visa program continues to attract international investors seeking a residency solution backed by tangible real estate in one of Europe’s most enduring property markets.

For internationally minded investors, Greece offers something most markets cannot. The financial return and the lifestyle benefit are not separate decisions. They come from the same asset.

The Investment Case

Why Greece works as a pure investment.

Greece’s property market has delivered consistent capital appreciation since 2018, driven by rising tourism, strong international demand, and limited supply of quality residential stock in prime locations. Rental demand, both short-term tourism-driven and long-term residential, continues to grow across the country’s most sought-after areas.

EUR-denominated income provides European and non-European investors alike with stable currency exposure. For investors based in markets with volatile local currencies, Greece offers a reliable income stream in one of the world’s most established currencies.

The Golden Visa

What the Greek Golden Visa actually gives your family.

Greece stands apart from many residency-by-investment programs for one reason: access. A qualifying property investment provides residency rights for you and your family, alongside visa-free travel throughout the Schengen Area. For internationally minded investors, the combination of European mobility, tangible real estate ownership, and long-term security is compelling.

The asset you acquire does not sit idle. It can generate EUR-denominated rental income while benefiting from exposure to one of Europe’s most established tourism and lifestyle markets. One acquisition. Two outcomes.

Our Role

We manage the acquisition and the residency process together.

Most investors approach the property purchase and the Golden Visa application as two separate processes. Brithomes handles both, from property selection through to residency confirmation, so nothing falls between the gaps and nothing is delayed.

STEP 1
Strategic Consultation

We review your investment goals, family circumstances, and timeline. We confirm the qualifying investment threshold for your chosen location and identify the right property type for your application.

STEP 2
Property Selection

We source qualifying properties matched to your brief, both on and off-market. Every property presented confirms Golden Visa eligibility alongside its investment credentials.

STEP 3
Acquisition & Legal Completion

We negotiate the purchase, support due diligence and coordinate legal completion with solicitors on the ground in Greece.

STEP 4
Golden Visa Application & Confirmation

We prepare and submit your Golden Visa application, coordinate with the relevant Greek authorities, and manage the process through to approval. We handle all correspondence until your family's residency is confirmed and in hand.

STEP 5
Ongoing Property Management

We manage your Greek property after completion: tenant sourcing, rent collection, and maintenance. Your asset earns. We run it.

Who This Is For

Built for investors who want more than a financial return.

Our Greece service suits investors who want to combine a genuine property investment with a strategic residency outcome. Clients who acquire in Greece through Brithomes typically fall into one of three profiles.

The yield investor focused on EUR-denominated rental income and long-term capital growth in a resurgent European market.

The residency investor focused on securing Schengen Area access for their family through the most highly established EU residency program available.

The dual-outcome investor focused on both. A qualifying Greek property delivers income and residency from a single acquisition.

We work with clients across the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia, Canada, and the USA.

Two outcomes.

FAQs

What investors typically ask us.

Do I need to live in Greece to keep my residency?

No. The Greek Golden Visa does not require a minimum stay. You can maintain your residency permit without residing in Greece, provided you retain ownership of the qualifying property.

Yes. The Golden Visa covers your spouse, dependent children, and parents of both the applicant and spouse, all under a single qualifying investment.

The qualifying investment threshold varies by location. Certain high-demand areas, including parts of Athens and popular islands, carry a higher minimum threshold. Our advisory team will confirm the current threshold for your chosen area at consultation.

Yes. There is no restriction on renting your Greek property. Many of our clients generate consistent rental income from their Golden Visa qualifying asset throughout the residency period.

The Golden Visa is tied to property ownership. If you sell the qualifying asset, your residency permit is no longer valid unless you reinvest in a new qualifying property.
