Golden Visa

A Greek residence permit through property purchase, secure from the start

The Golden Visa gives citizens of countries outside the European Union, and their families, a residence permit in Greece when they buy property there. My role is to check the property legally before you pay and to stay with you until the permit is issued and renewed.

  1. Property checks before payment

    Title, encumbrances, land registry, planning compliance, and whether the property meets the programme's requirements.

  2. I represent only you

    I do not sell property, and I take no commission from sellers or estate agents.

  3. Everything remotely, with a power of attorney

    Your physical presence is needed mainly for the biometric data.

  4. Updates in your language

    English, Russian, Greek and Armenian, with written updates at every step.
