The €250,000 category
What converted property is
An apartment in a building that used to be commercial — offices, a shop, a warehouse — and has been converted to residential use. For such properties the Golden Visa threshold is €250,000 anywhere in Greece, including Athens, where other property starts at €800,000.
What to know before buying
- The conversion must be legally completed before you apply, and certified by an engineer.
- Short-term rentals (Airbnb, Booking) are not allowed. Long-term leases are.
- Eligibility is checked for the specific apartment, not by the price alone.
- The property has to stay in your ownership to renew the permit.

How it works
From consultation to residence card in eight steps
Timing depends on the property and the immigration office. At the consultation we give you a schedule for your case.
Consultation and property selection
A free consultation with an Epirus Assets specialist. We discuss your goals, budget, region and type of property. Then we prepare a selection of the most suitable Golden Visa properties.
Lawyer and property check
You choose a lawyer and sign a power of attorney for the transaction. The lawyer gets you a Greek tax number and runs the legal due diligence on the property.
Reservation and deposit
You sign a preliminary agreement and pay a 10% deposit. It reserves the property and sets the payment schedule.
Preparing the transaction
An engineer issues the technical certificate. The lawyer makes the final check of the documents. The notary prepares the purchase contract.
Payment
You pay the rest of the price in one payment or in 2–3 instalments. Taxes, notary and registration fees are paid at the same time.
Signing and registration
The final purchase contract is signed. Your ownership is registered with the Hellenic Cadastre.
Golden Visa application
The lawyer collects the documents and files the application. You receive confirmation of filing.
Biometrics and residence permit
You travel to Greece to give biometrics. After that, you receive the so-called blue certificate. Then the Golden Visa residence card is issued.
For Russian citizens
Need a second citizenship? There is a way
Russian citizens need a second citizenship to apply for the Greek Golden Visa. We explain the options at a consultation; the second citizenship is arranged by our partner.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who can apply?
Citizens of countries outside the EU who buy a qualifying property in Greece. The permit covers the main applicant and their family.
Which family members are included?
Your spouse or registered partner, children under 21, and the parents of both spouses.
Do I have to live in Greece?
No. There is no minimum stay to keep or renew the permit.
How long is the permit valid?
Five years. It is renewed for another five years as long as you still own the property.
Why €250,000 and not €800,000 in Athens?
The €250,000 threshold applies to buildings converted from commercial to residential use, anywhere in Greece. The conversion must be legally completed before you apply, and each apartment is checked individually.
Can I rent the apartment out?
Yes, on long-term leases. Short-term rentals (Airbnb, Booking) are not allowed for Golden Visa properties: the permit can be revoked and the fine is €50,000.
Can I buy without coming to Greece?
Most steps can be done through a power of attorney. You come to Greece to give biometrics for the residence permit.
I am a Russian citizen. Can I apply?
Russian citizens need a second citizenship to apply. We explain the options at a consultation; the second citizenship is arranged by our partner.
