€250,000 — Properties under conversion or restoration routes

This route covers qualifying properties created through conversion from commercial to residential use. The minimum acquisition value is €250,000 and the investment must be made in a single property. There is no 120 m² minimum-area requirement for this category. The change of use must be completed before the Golden Visa application. Additional eligibility conditions apply to former industrial buildings.

The minimum property acquisition value is €800,000. The investment must be made in a single property. For built properties or properties with a building permit, the main-use area must be at least 120 m².
€400,000 — Investment in other areas
Applies in areas outside the €800,000 investment threshold. The minimum property acquisition value is €400,000. The investment must be made in a single property; for built properties, the main-use area must be at least 120 m².

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Key questions about the Golden Visa.
What are the current real-estate investment thresholds?
For the standard property route, the minimum is €800,000 in Attica, the Thessaloniki Regional Unit, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with more than 3,100 residents; the standard threshold is €400,000 in other regions. Special €250,000 routes exist for defined conversion and listed-property investments.
Is every €250,000 property eligible?
No. €250,000 is not a general market threshold. It applies to specific routes defined by law, including qualifying conversion-to-residential property and certain listed properties requiring restoration or reconstruction.
Does the 120 m² rule apply to every route?
For the standard €800,000 and €400,000 property routes, built property is subject to the minimum 120 m² principal-use-area rule. The official change-of-use procedure expressly states that the 120 m² limit does not apply to that special €250,000 route.
Can the property be used for short-term rental?
Under the current rules, property acquired as the basis for the investor residence permit may not be used for short-term rental in the sharing economy and may not be sublet.
How long is the residence permit valid?
The permit is issued for five years and may be renewed for equal periods while the investment basis and the other conditions remain satisfied.
Is a minimum physical stay required for renewal?
The law expressly states that periods of absence from the country do not prevent renewal of the permit.
Does Golden Visa provide a right to work?
No. The real-estate investor residence permit does not establish a right of access to employment.
What happens if the property is sold?
The residence basis is tied to the investment. The law provides that in certain transfers to another third-country national the buyer may obtain the residence right with simultaneous revocation of the seller’s permit. The listed-property route also has a special restriction before restoration is complete.
