The Greek Government recently issued a statement regarding the anticipated Greece Golden Visa price increase, limiting the increase to certain areas of the country while also announcing a grace period for those looking to invest within those areas under the former regulations.
The new law L. 5007/2022 Articles 91 and 92 detail the changes, limiting the Golden Visa’s real estate minimum investment threshold increase from €250,000 to €500,000 to these areas:
By restricting the price increase to these regions, the Greek Government has ensured that the vast majority of the country’s provinces still operate under the €250,000 minimum investment threshold, giving a boost to those region’s housing markets while continuing to provide investors with a very affordable price point for one of the world’s most popular Residency by Investment programmes.
The Greek Government also released the grace period that allows investors to qualify for the Golden Visa by investing €250,000 in real estate within one of the areas affected by the price increase.
Investors will have until December 31st, 2023, to complete their purchase and submit their application, but to qualify for this exception, an investor must deposit 10% of the property’s value before April 30th, 2023.
However, interested investors who want to take advantage of this grace period must act quickly, as they will need to choose their preferred property or properties, finalize the initial paperwork, and make the deposit before the deadline in April comes around.
