Short answer: The Greece Golden Visa can include parents as family members, together with spouse and dependent children. There is no minimum stay requirement — suitable for three-generation European residence.
Family members covered
| Member | Included? |
|---|---|
| Spouse | Yes |
| Dependent children | Yes |
| Parents | Yes |
| Grandparents | Not usually (Malta can) |
Property threshold reminder
Investment tiers are roughly EUR 250,000, 400,000 and 800,000 by area. Adding parents does not raise the property threshold, but government fees and paperwork increase.
Versus Malta and Portugal
- Greece: parents included, no stay requirement, property route.
- Malta: parents and grandparents, direct permanent residence.
- Portugal: dependent parents, fund route, low stay requirement.
Who it suits
Families who need to bring parents, can meet the relevant Greek property tier, and want European residence as a back-up or lifestyle option.
