Invest in Greece with a Clear Legal Strategy

Greece offers a range of opportunities for international investors seeking to acquire real estate and establish a long-term presence in the country. Depending on the type, location, and value of the investment, qualifying real estate acquisitions may provide access to an investor residence permit under Greece's applicable investment residence framework.

At BP Group, we provide legal and strategic assistance to clients considering property acquisition and residence by investment in Greece, from the initial assessment of an investment opportunity through the completion of the relevant legal and administrative procedures.

Who Is This Service For?

Our Greece real estate and investment services are designed for:

• Individuals seeking an investment-based residence permit

• Families planning to establish a long-term presence in Greece

• Investors interested in residential or qualifying real estate opportunities

• Clients seeking professional assistance with property acquisition

• International investors requiring legal coordination during a property transaction

Real Estate Investment & Residence

The Greek investment residence framework provides different routes depending on the nature and location of the property investment. Current rules include different investment thresholds, with higher thresholds applying in certain high-demand areas and specific provisions for qualifying properties such as certain buildings undergoing conversion or listed properties.

Because eligibility can depend on the property's location, legal status, intended use, acquisition structure, and other factors, each investment should be assessed individually before a transaction is undertaken.
