If you’re exploring the investment visa cost in Europe, the Greece Golden Visa offers one of the lowest entry points. In 2026, the total Greece residency price includes not just property investment, but also government fees, property taxes, and legal services.
The minimum investment for Greece residency starts at just €250,000 — one of the most competitive offers in the EU. However, investment amounts vary depending on location: €250,000 – investment in listed and converted real estate. €400,000 — minimum threshold in most regions. €800,000 – required in selected premium zones like Athens, Thessaloniki, Santorini, and Mykonos.
*Properties of cultural or historical significance that require restoration, as well as modern apartments or residential units created through the full renovation and conversion of former office buildings or apartment hotels by developers.
Beyond the property purchase, investors should consider state-related golden visa costs and taxes.
