When will the new investment routes of the Greek Golden Visa be implemented?

The Golden Visa program was launched in Greece in 2014 and since then has seen rapid growth, with international investors embracing the option to invest in Europe. Since then, it has been optimized to include more flexible, inclusive and friendly terms. In an effort to attract a broader variety and an even larger number of investments, the Greek government is discussing some upcoming amendments for the Golden Visa program, which are under public discussion and vote in the near future. Even though the amendments have not been voted upon yet, the proposed changes may include the following: Investors will now be able to apply for a Golden Visa (permanent resident permit) by depositing funds of 400,000 euros or more in a Greek bank, without the option for withdrawals for several years. They will also be able to invest in an already established Greek company by becoming a shareholder and participating in the capital increase of the company by investing, once again, 400,000 euros. Previously, they were only able to start a their own business rather than invest in an already established one. Moreover, assets like government bonds or listed shares will also be considered an eligible investment, further broadening the options for investors.

The law in Greece for issuing the Golden Visa has not changed. The investment must be 250,0000 euros and no new law has been passed.
