Greece residency services: Golden Visa, digital nomad and retirement visas
Movingto's Greece residency services cover the Golden Visa (from €250,000 for a conversion to residential use or a listed building, otherwise €400,000 or €800,000 depending on the area), the Digital Nomad Visa (€3,500 a month net income), the retirement visa for financially independent people, the AFM tax number and the Greek tax regimes. Greece services are quoted per case after a route-fit assessment.
The Greek Golden Visa is a five-year, renewable residence permit for non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment in Greece; it sets no minimum stay and does not allow work.

Common questions
Greece residency services: common questions
What is the cheapest Greece Golden Visa?
€250,000, but only for a property converted from another use (for example commercial) to residential, or a listed building that you restore. Other homes need €400,000, or €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands of over 3,100 people, in one property of at least 120 m² (Migration Code art. 100 as replaced by Law 5100/2024, checked 18 October 2026).
Do I have to live in Greece to keep a Golden Visa?
No. The Golden Visa permit lasts five years, can be renewed while you keep the investment, and absences from Greece do not block renewal. It does not give the right to work in Greece (Migration Code art. 100, checked 18 October 2026).
How much does Movingto charge for Greece services?
Greece routes are quoted per case after a route-fit assessment, so your quote gives a fixed figure. Government fees, such as the €2,000 Golden Visa permit fee and the €16 card fee, are paid to the Greek authorities and are separate. The first consultation is free.
