Under Greece’s updated Golden Visa Program, investors may qualify for residency through a minimum €250,000 property investment involving the conversion of commercial or industrial buildings into residential properties, or the restoration of designated historic buildings. Industrial buildings must have remained vacant for at least five years.

A commercial-to-residential conversion project involves purchasing a commercial property and legally converting its designated use into residential accommodation, meeting the eligibility requirements of the Golden Visa Program.
