# EUGateway.gr

> EUGateway.gr is an information and connection platform for the Greek Golden Visa — a residence-by-investment programme that grants non-EU nationals and their families five-year, renewable EU residency in Greece. EUGateway connects applicants with verified, licensed Greek lawyers, real estate agents, and consultants. It does not provide legal, financial, or immigration advice directly.

Key facts about the Greek Golden Visa (as presented by EUGateway.gr):
- **Minimum investment:** from €250,000 (route- and location-dependent; high-demand areas such as Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos and Santorini are higher).
- **Minimum stay:** none — zero days per year required to maintain the permit.
- **Permit:** five years, renewable indefinitely while the qualifying investment is held.
- **Family:** one application covers spouse/registered partner, children up to 21 (extendable to 24 if in education), and parents on both sides.
- **Travel:** visa-free movement across the 27 EU member states and the wider Schengen Area (90 days in any 180).
- **Processing:** typically 3–6 months from contract to biometric residency card.
- **Citizenship:** eligible after seven years of legal residence (requires physical presence, a Greek-language test, and a civics exam; Greece allows dual citizenship).
- **Work:** cannot be employed by a Greek company on the visa alone, but may own/operate a business and earn rental and investment income.

Investment routes:
- **Real estate** — residential or commercial property; the most established route.
- **Startup capital** — direct investment in vetted Greek startups (from €250K).
- **Investment funds** — Greek-regulated funds, AIFs, or government bonds (from €400K).
