For buyers considering a qualifying residential property in Crete for personal use, long-term holding or long-term rental.
Change-of-use route
For selected non-residential properties whose main spaces are legally converted to residential use under the applicable rules.
Price and area filters identify possible candidates only. They do not confirm Golden Visa eligibility, which must be verified by the investor's Greek lawyer and engineer.

How we proceed
Each transaction follows its own legal sequence. Eligibility is checked before claims are made about a property.
01
Clarify your budget, family needs, timing and intended use of the property.
02
Review price, area, title, permitted use and project documentation.
03
Align the technical, legal, notarial and payment steps for the selected property.
04
Submit only after the requirements of the chosen route have been completed and confirmed.
Tell us about your budget, preferred location and timeline. We will outline the relevant route and the information needed for an initial property assessment.
This page provides general information, not legal advice. Programme rules and the eligibility of a specific property and transaction must be confirmed by an independent Greek immigration lawyer and qualified engineer before purchase.
We will contact you to discuss your goal and current candidate properties or projects.
