The  Greek Golden Visa program is one of the most affordable residence-by-investment programs that provides access to Europe. Successful applicants and their families are able to benefit from visa-free access to Europe’s Schengen Area within three months of applying. After residing in Greece for 7 years, the applicant may apply for citizenship via the process of naturalization. This can be achieved if the applicant can demonstrate that they have established close ties with the country and that they have successfully integrated into Greek society, both financially and socially and have adequate knowledge of the Greek language.
