How to unlock the Greek Golden Visa via property investment in Athens – Richard Haller

Loading player...
For those searching for a golden visa opportunity in Europe, you may have noticed that options are becoming increasingly limited. However, Greece remains a viable choice. In an interview with BizNews, Richard Haller from immigration specialists Sable International stated that Greece offers a residency programme, allowing investors to live in Greece and travel within the Schengen area for 90 days out of every 180 days. To qualify, a property investment of €250,000 in Athens is required in developments rezoned from commercial to residential. Athens is now a more accessible option, as the golden visa for the islands is now €800,000. Haller, who has recently explored potential investment opportunities, identified a development called Moschato Hive, which consists of 110 serviced apartments and is currently under construction. He described it as an ideal investment opportunity in a “vibey suburb with trees and lots of coffee shops.” He encouraged potential investors to act quickly, as options may become limited due to changing regulations and increasing price points.
