Golden Visa
The Golden Visa program offers recipients the privilege of:
- Unrestricted movement within the Schengen Convention Area, comprising 26 EU member states.
This zone operates as a unified entity, eliminating passport and border controls among its members.
Established through the Schengen Convention of 1985, this framework embodies a cohesive visa policy, fostering seamless mobility across its territories.
In order to secure a Golden Visa, a third-country national is required to fulfill the following criteria:
Invest a minimum capital amount of 400,000 euros into a Greek-based company, excluding portfolio investment companies and real estate investment companies.
This investment can be made through the acquisition of shares in a share capital increase or bonds via a bond loan issuance.
The issuance of a type D A 2.1 visa necessitates a total fee of 20,000 euros.
Upon incorporation of the company and acquisition of shares, the new shareholder/owner is required to present themselves at the Embassy of their country of origin.
They must provide the company's statutes along with a concise investment plan for review, along with any specified supporting documentation.
