Greece Golden Visa Inspection Trip
Greece Golden Visa property routes currently use €800,000, €400,000, or eligible €250,000 thresholds depending on location and property type. Oulang can arrange a 5–7 day inspection trip with curated viewings, independent legal due diligence coordination, tax guidance, and support for AFM and banking steps. A property purchase does not guarantee approval: eligibility, source of funds, and authority review still apply. Approved permit holders may make short stays across the 29-country Schengen area under the applicable rules.

FAQ
What does the inspection trip fee include?
The trip service fee typically covers airport transfers, property-viewing transport, appointment coordination with lawyers and tax advisers, banking assistance, and a suitable interpreter when requested. International flights, hotels, meals, visa fees, and third-party professional fees are normally separate. The written quotation confirms the exact scope and any applicable fee credit.
What's the Golden Visa investment threshold?
The current real-estate route generally has three levels: €800,000 in Attica, the Thessaloniki regional unit, Mykonos, Santorini, and islands with populations above 3,100; €400,000 elsewhere in Greece; and eligible €250,000 special routes such as qualifying commercial-to-residential conversions or restoration of listed buildings. Additional conditions on floor area, single-property acquisition, use, and rental restrictions matter, so independent counsel should verify the specific asset before signing.
Can I sign immediately after viewing?
Do not rush into a non-refundable deposit or contract before independent counsel checks title, permitted use, encumbrances, planning status, and Golden Visa eligibility. Any reservation or deposit should follow lawyer-reviewed written terms. Remote completion may be possible through a properly drafted power of attorney.
What if I don't speak Greek?
We can arrange English, Chinese, or another available language according to the client. Certified translation or an official interpreter may be required for notarial, power-of-attorney, or authority documents, as confirmed by the lawyer, notary, or relevant authority. You should fully understand every legal document before signing.
Can I rent out the property after purchase?
A permitted long-term rental or management arrangement may be possible, but Golden Visa properties are subject to use and short-term-rental restrictions and should not be assumed eligible for platforms such as Airbnb. Counsel and a tax adviser should first verify the asset, ownership structure, rental model, taxes, and permissions before any net-return estimate.
