Former offices, hotels, and business centres are fully refurbished by developers and converted into residential units that meet all programme requirements. This category offers the lowest qualifying threshold in Greece, with investment entry starting at \u20ac250,000, compared with the standard \u20ac400,000\u2013\u20ac800,000 minimums for new-build properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because developers manage all reconstruction stages \u2014 permits, architectural plans, engineering work, construction supervision, and regulatory approvals \u2014 international investors can secure EU residency through a fully turnkey process, without engaging in bureaucratic or technical procedures. These projects are typically located in central Athens and other high-demand districts where new construction is scarce, creating strong potential for capital appreciation and stable rental income.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greeces_Golden_Visa_Program_Overview\"><\/span><b>Greece\u2019s Golden Visa Program: Overview<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astons.com\/residency-by-investment\/greece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golden Visa Greece<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grants a renewable five-year residence permit to non-EU citizens who meet the investment criteria.
