Greece’s Golden Visa programme has reached a new phase of efficiency, with recent data showing that application processing is becoming noticeably more streamlined.
In April 2025, the number of pending applications saw its first decline in over a year — falling from 52,821 to 52,399. While subtle, this shift reflects real progress in the country’s effort to handle increased demand with greater speed and consistency.
At the same time, interest in the programme remains high, with over 3,500 applications submitted already this year. This steady momentum speaks to continued confidence in Greece as a leading European destination for both lifestyle and investment.
Confidence in Timing
With Greece maintaining its attractive real estate threshold of €250,000 in selected regions, the combination of improved processing and strong market fundamentals makes this a highly favourable time to take the next step.
Whether you’re planning for family relocation, residency flexibility, or strategic property acquisition, the current conditions present a well-balanced environment to move forward.
