Qualifying conversion or listed-building projects

Special rules apply to conversion to residential use and listed-building restoration. Conversion must be completed before application; restoration has renewal conditions. A low asking price alone is not eligibility.

Who this route is for

  • Designed for eligible non-EU/EEA nationals; nationality, entry and individual admissibility are reviewed by the appointed lawyer.
  • A qualifying investment must be completed and evidenced, with appropriate insurance and application documents.
  • Family applications can include a spouse/recognised partner, eligible unmarried children under 21 and direct ascendants; age and dependency details need individual review.
  • The permit is renewable while its conditions remain satisfied. There is no minimum stay for this investor permit, but it does not grant a Greek employment right or automatic citizenship.

Request this package

Submitting a request creates an enquiry, not a paid engagement or visa application. GHF coordinates services; regulated legal, tax and technical work is performed by the appointed professionals. Authority approval is never guaranteed.

Prepare your document file

This is a starting checklist. Your professional confirms the exact documents, validity periods and legalisation requirements for your nationality, family and route. Share sensitive documents only through the agreed secure process.

  • 01Passports, lawful-entry evidence and the applicant details requested by the immigration lawyer.
  • 02Marriage/partnership, birth and custody records for the family members applying; legalisation and certified translations as required.
  • 03Insurance evidence and application forms, photographs/biometrics and official fee receipts.
  • 04AFM/tax-registration details and source-of-funds/payment records required by the professionals and bank.
  • 05Purchase deed, cadastral registration, notarial certifications and route-specific evidence.
  • 06For conversion/restoration: engineer reports, permits, use-change or restoration documentation and the current prescribed certificates.

From first enquiry to your next chapter

One visible plan, with clear responsibilities. We distinguish our delivery milestones from the time taken by banks, consulates and public authorities.

  1. STEP 1

    Assess before committing

    Tell us your nationality, family, budget, location and target dates. The lawyer checks the suitable route and flags missing evidence.

  2. STEP 2

    Find and investigate

    Shortlist properties, inspect them and commission title, cadastral and engineering checks. Compare total acquisition costs and restrictions.

  3. STEP 3

    Agree the scope

    Receive your itemised GHF quote, professional assignments, draft service agreement, deliverables and deadlines. Sign and pay only the agreed service order.

  4. STEP 4

    Complete the acquisition

    The lawyer, notary and engineer coordinate the closing file, lawful banking payment and registration. Any representation needs appropriate authority.

  5. STEP 5

    Apply and attend biometrics

    The appointed immigration professional prepares the residence application. You attend the required appointments; the authorities decide the outcome.

  6. STEP 6

    Track and maintain

    Follow requests and reports in your profile. Arrange tax, property management and renewal support as separately agreed.

A clear budget before you proceed

Property investment

The qualifying purchase amount is separate from all GHF service fees.

Acquisition costs

Budget separately for applicable taxes, notary, registry, lawyer, engineer and any brokerage. Request an itemised property-specific estimate.

Residence application

Official application/card fees, insurance, translations and legalisation depend on applicants and route. They are identified before engagement.

Ongoing costs

Allow for property tax, insurance, maintenance, management and future renewals. No rental return or approval date is guaranteed.

Your service order stays with you

Request → review quote → sign → pay → track progress → download documents. Return to your client profile to see your orders and available deliverables.

Eligible service orders offer card checkout through Stripe or EURC on Base using a compatible wallet such as MetaMask. The checkout shows the supported network and amount. Government fees and property purchase funds are handled separately.

Questions before you start

Can I put the property on Airbnb?

Golden Visa property restrictions include short-term letting and subletting prohibitions; conversion properties also have use restrictions. Obtain a written review before making a rental plan. Long-term rental arrangements need their own assessment.

Can I start with a €250,000 apartment?

Only if it meets a qualifying special route. Ask for the legal and engineering evidence before paying a deposit; a listing label is not an immigration approval.

How long will it take?

We separate the agreed document-preparation and coordination deadlines from official processing. Property defects, translations, appointments and government workloads can change the timetable. Your quote identifies what we control.

Does this give me an EU passport?

No. This is a Greek residence route. Citizenship is a separate process with residence and other legal requirements. Travel in other Schengen states remains subject to the applicable short-stay rules.

Can I use crypto or property tokens for the investment?

GHF’s eligible service checkout can offer Stripe or EURC on Base. That is separate from the property purchase: use the payment arrangements approved by the notary and immigration lawyer. Pilot tokens do not qualify as ownership or a Golden Visa investment.

Do you guarantee approval?

No. GHF coordinates the agreed services; appointed professionals perform regulated work and the Greek authorities decide applications. You receive the scope and costs before signing.
