Hey all, been researching different ways to secure EU residency and came across the Greek programme — seems like one of the more flexible options if you’re not yet ready to pursue full citizenship. Essentially, you make an eligible investment (often in real estate) and obtain a residency permit that also covers your immediate family.

Here’s the official programme page: https://www.astons.com/residency-by-investment/greece/

Why It’s Getting Talked About:

Live in Greece: Residency rights mean you can actually move, work, or study there.

Schengen Travel: Residency offers easier access across the Schengen Area.

Family Benefits: Spouse and children usually included in the application.

Property Investment: You’re buying something that can deliver rental income or long-term value.

Greece is appealing for many because the cost of living and property prices can be more reasonable than other EU hotspots, and the Mediterranean lifestyle is a bonus.

Would love to hear if anyone’s started this process — how long it took, what legal support you used, and whether the investment side felt worthwhile compared with programmes in Portugal or Spain. Let’s break it down.
