Golden Visa and residency
Greece Golden Visa for the Whole Family: Spouses, Children, and Parents
Who Can Be Included in the Program
The Greek Golden Visa program allows the main investor to obtain residence permits for close family members without the need to purchase separate properties for each of them. The family unit can include:
- Spouses or registered partners.
- Minor children.
- Parents of both spouses.
Each family member receives an individual residence permit card. The validity period for spouses, parents, and minor children is typically five years or tied to the main investor’s card. For children aged 18 to 21, a three-year permit is provided.
Opportunities for the Family
Resident status grants access to living in Greece and various educational opportunities. Children can attend public, private, and international schools. When planning for university admission in other European countries, it is necessary to consider the specific requirements of the institution and the residency rules of the chosen state.
Document Preparation
To submit an application, you will need to prepare a package of documents confirming identity and family ties:
- Passports of all applicants.
- Marriage or partnership certificate.
- Birth certificates for children.
- Documents confirming kinship with parents.
Foreign documents must be apostilled or consularly legalized and translated into Greek. Medical insurance is also required. Adult applicants pay government fees, while minors are exempt from the main family member fee.
Application Process
The procedure begins with purchasing real estate that meets the program requirements and submitting the main investor’s residence permit application. Family members’ applications can be submitted simultaneously or after the main applicant. It is important to carefully verify the spelling of names, dates of birth, and kinship data in all documents to avoid processing delays.
