Overview Of Greece

Where in the World is Greece?

The southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula houses Greece. Head east to reach the Aegean Sea, south to get to the Mediterranean Sea, and west to hit the Ionian Sea. Its neighbors are Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Türkiye.

How Big is Greece?

Imagine a land mass the size of Alabama or England comprising a mainland plus over 2,000 islands. Greece has roughly 10.4 million inhabitants.

What Language Do They Speak in Greece?

The official language is Greek, an ancient tongue dating back to around the 15th century BCE. About half of Greece's population can speak English. This compares favorably with Italy and Spain but less so with Germany.

Greek Golden Visa Program FAQs

When Did They Start the Greece Golden Visa?
The Greek government launched the Golden Visa scheme in 2013.

What Are the Advantages of Getting a Golden Visa in Greece?
The Greek Golden Visa lets you live in Greece as a resident and gives you visa-free access to the Schengen region, among many other benefits.

How Long Does the Process of Obtaining Residency in Greece Take?
Submit your application form. Then you will have to wait no more than three months to receive your residence permits.

How Do You Get Greek Citizenship?
You will receive a Greek Golden Visa residence permit. This is not a citizenship-by-investment program. But, if you live in the country for seven years, you can become a Greek citizen through naturalisation. You will need to pass a Greek language test.

Which Family Members Can Go with Me on a Greek Golden Visa?
You can bring family members with you. These include spouses and dependent children up to the age of 24. Parents and grandparents can come too.

Will I Have to Pay Taxes in Greece?
It depends. If you are spending more than 183 days in the country, yes. If you are renting out your real estate investment, no. Greece has double taxation agreements with many countries. These include the UK and US. So, you will only pay tax on your Greek property.
