Greece residence through an eligible investment fund

From €350,000 — Qualifying investment capital — fees are additional

A financial alternative to buying property: subscribe to units in a qualifying mutual fund investing in eligible Greek-listed shares, corporate bonds and government bonds. Not every fund or unit class qualifies. The legal route requires specific investment and fund conditions, including minimum fund assets.

A regulated UCITS structure provides a framework for professional investment management. GF Hellas Invest is one published example of an eligible fund, not a confirmed product recommendation or a commercial partnership. The selected fund, unit class, prospectus, key information document and eligibility evidence must be reviewed before subscription.

There are no tenants or repairs to manage. Unit valuations and redemption follow the fund’s published terms. Redemption or transfer can affect residence eligibility: investment liquidity does not mean you can withdraw the qualifying capital and automatically keep the permit.

Residence and family planning

The Greek residence permit is renewable, subject to retaining the qualifying investment and meeting applicable conditions. Eligible family members require their own applications and documentation. An issued valid permit with a valid passport supports qualifying short visits to other Schengen states, generally up to 90 days in any 180-day period; it does not grant work or long-term residence rights elsewhere. Citizenship is a separate legal process.

Budget beyond the investment

Allow for subscription, banking/custody and ongoing fund charges, legal advice, residence application fees, insurance, translation, certification, travel and applicable taxes. Passport Gates professional fees are additional after case review. Request a written product-specific cost statement; €350,000 is not an all-inclusive quote.

Understand the risks

Capital and returns are not guaranteed. Market, interest-rate, credit, concentration and currency risks can cause losses. No historical return, fixed portfolio allocation or income distribution is promised. Approval remains with the Greek authorities.

Your next steps

1. Review family eligibility and investment suitability with the relevant professionals.
2. Confirm the fund and unit class, fees, source-of-funds requirements and investment evidence.
3. Complete subscription and the applicable visa, residence and biometric procedures. Retain the qualifying investment for renewal.
