We are expecting three election times, which means there might be a delay to the Greek parliament's approval to those investment options for foreigners aiming for a Golden Visa. Hopefully, from June to October, the matter should be settled and you would have your details concerning procedures to be followed.

The new Golden Visa type comes into force on July 1, 2019. The law stipulates that new Golden Visa provisions become effective three months after their promulgation in the Government Gazette, which happened on April 1, 2019. The law is Law 4605/2019 of 01.04.2019, article 42 thereof. As far as I know, no details have been published in any official site yet. Nevertheless, the relevant law will start being in force as from July 1, 2019, unless its coming into effect is postponed or abolished by means of a law amendment.

It hasn't been approved yet by the Greek parliament. It is supposed to be in force in July.
