Greece runs a residence by investment route known as the Golden Visa. Pakistani nationals can apply as investors from outside the European Union. The property thresholds were restructured into location based tiers, so the minimum depends on where you buy. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Pakistani nationals are eligible. As citizens of a country outside the European Union, Pakistani applicants qualify on the same investment terms as most other foreign investors, and there is no published nationality bar for Pakistan.
Every applicant must hold a valid passport and a clean criminal record and pass security checks. Greece can refuse any applicant judged a risk to national security or public order. Confirm the live eligibility rules and document list with the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
The main route is qualifying real estate. Since the 2024 reform the minimum value depends on location. A higher tier applies to the most in demand areas, a middle tier applies to other regions, and a lower tier applies to specific cases such as converting a commercial property to residential use or restoring a listed building.
There are also non property routes, such as a capital contribution, shares or bonds, with their own thresholds. The property bought under the main route generally has to meet a minimum size and be a single property. Confirm the live tiers, the qualifying areas and any size rules with the authority before committing any money.
After a qualifying investment and a complete file, the residence permit is issued for a fixed period and renewed while the investment is held. The permit allows travel within the Schengen area and does not carry a heavy minimum stay.
Processing depends on volume and on the document review for applicants from outside the European Union. Plan ahead and confirm current scheduling and renewal rules with the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
