Частые вопросы
1. Can I rent out my Golden Visa property on Airbnb?
No. Under the current 2026 rules, properties acquired for the Golden Visa are strictly prohibited from being rented out on a short-term basis (like Airbnb or Booking.com). Only long-term residential rentals are allowed.
2. Do I have to live in Greece to keep my Golden Visa?
No. There is no requirement to live in Greece or stay in the country for a minimum number of days. You can renew the visa every 5 years as long as you maintain the property.
3. Does the Golden Visa lead to Greek citizenship?
Not automatically. However, if you reside physically in Greece for at least 183 days per year for 7 consecutive years, and pass the Greek language and integration exams, you are eligible to apply for citizenship.
4. Can I sell my property?
Yes, you can sell your property at any time. However, selling the property will lead to the immediate revocation of your Golden Visa. The visa rights will transfer to the new buyer if they qualify.

Yes. The parents of both the main applicant and their spouse can be included in the residency program without any proof of financial dependency.
