Greece, known for its culture, natural beauty, historical attractions, wonderful islands, friendly people and tourism is one of the safest countries in the Mediterranean region and has a strategic position that makes it a gateway to the EU..

Legal framework of the Golden Rule, Law 4251/2014 of the Greek Parliament offers residence permits and access to the Schengen Area to third-country nationals and their family members who buy a property in Greece and the value of each must be equal to or greater than 250,000 euros. The purchase can be made by an individual or a legal entity.

Citizens outside the EU who are looking for a quick way to live in the EU now have a new option - buy a cheap property in Southern Europe. The residence permit acts as a form of visa in all Schengen zones (26 countries), including Western Europe - except the United Kingdom. The permit only requires permanent residence in the country where the property is located, which means that buyers can also use it as a springboard to travel anywhere in Europe.
