Five-year renewable Greek residence permit for non-EU investors who place €350,000–€800,000 into Greek funds, bonds, deposits, or listed securities.
The Greek Golden Visa Financial Securities route (Type B.4, Article 99 of Law 5038/2023) grants a 5-year renewable residence permit to non-EU investors who place qualifying capital into Greek financial instruments rather than property. qualifying options include mutual fund or AIF units (€350,000), Greek government bonds or a time deposit (€500,000), and listed shares or corporate bonds (€800,000).
The permit covers spouse, children under 21, and parents of both spouses, with no minimum stay in Greece and citizenship qualification after 7 years of residence. Investments must be held via a Greek custodian for the permit's duration. Employment in Greece is not permitted. Government fees are about €2,000 for the main applicant plus €150 per family member.
This visa is ideal for high-net-worth investors who want Schengen residency without buying property, accept the no-work restriction, and can lock €350,000+ into qualifying Greek securities.
