Summary

Mr Law’s Greece Golden Visa experience. He wanted European residence on a lower budget.

Background

Mr Law, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife. He wanted European residence on a lower budget.

Main concern

He wasn’t clear on the EUR 250,000 route’s conditions.

Our approach

We explained the commercial-to-residential route clearly, including that the conversion must be finished before applying.

Process and outcome

He received residence through a EUR 250,000 project in about 8 months.

Adviser’s comment

The EUR 250,000 route has a lower threshold, but its conversion conditions and timing must be clear.

Greece Golden Visa application process

  1. Assessment and property search (1–2 months): We shortlist qualifying properties by budget and area.
  2. Purchase (1–3 months): Obtain a tax number, open an account and complete the purchase.
  3. Application (Per scheduling): Submit the residence application and register biometrics.
