Golden Visa Potential Investment The property presents an attractive opportunity for investors interested in the Greek Golden Visa programme, including the special €250,000 investment category applicable to qualifying properties and conversion projects. The Greek Golden Visa is particularly appealing to international investors seeking to combine residency benefits with investment in Greek real estate. The Potential benefits include: • Greek residence rights through an eligible investment • The opportunity to establish a base in Greece • Visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, subject to applicable rules • Investment in one of Greece's most internationally recognised destinations • Potential for long-term capital appreciation and rental demand • The opportunity to own property in one of Chania's most desirable central neighbourhoods Additional Information regarding the Golden Visa Program Important property rules: For the 800k€ and 400k€ routes, the newer rules are considerably stricter than the old program. The investment generally needs to be made in one property, rather than combining several properties to reach the threshold. For residential property subject to the newer rules, the property must generally have at least 120 m². Golden Visa properties acquired under these rules cannot be used for short-term rentals such as Airbnb. There are specific restrictions and transitional provisions depending on when the property was purchased and when the transaction/application was initiated, so the applicable threshold can depend on the transaction date. Family members: A major attraction is that the residence permit can cover the investor's qualifying family members. The Greek Ministry of Migration lists the Golden Visa as a permanent residence permit for investors, subject to renewal requirements and continued satisfaction of the investment conditions. What you get: The Golden Visa provides Greek residence rights and allows travel within the Schengen Area under the applicable 90-days-in-180-days rules. Importantly, it is not Greek citizenship. You don't automatically become a Greek citizen after buying property. Citizenship is a separate process with substantially different requirements, including residence/integration requirements. The 250k€ route is specifically available for certain types of investments, including: Commercial/industrial property converted into residential use — the property must qualify for the conversion, and the required conversion must be completed. Certain historic/heritage buildings where the investment involves restoration. Certain hotel/tourist-accommodation arrangements can also fall under the €250k framework. IC751
