Renewal &
Permanence

Managing 5-year permit renewals with precision — and charting the path from temporary residency to permanent status and Greek citizenship.

Your Golden Visa is a long-term commitment. We are with you at every renewal — and every step toward permanence.

The Greek Golden Visa is renewable indefinitely every five years, provided the qualifying investment is maintained. Each renewal requires a fresh set of documents, proof of continued investment, and timely filing — the same rigour as the original application.

Beyond renewal, we advise clients on the pathway to permanent residency after five years of legal stay, and the requirements for Greek citizenship after seven years — opening the door to full EU citizenship.

Our Process
01

Proactive Renewal Reminder & Planning

We track your permit expiry date and contact you 6–8 months in advance to initiate the renewal process — ensuring no lapse in your legal right of residence.

02

Investment Continuity Verification

We verify that your qualifying investment remains intact and meets current regulatory thresholds — advising on any portfolio adjustments needed before filing the renewal.

03

Document Refresh & Compilation

We collect updated versions of all required documents — tax clearance certificates, property ownership confirmations, civil status updates — and handle any new translation or legalisation requirements.

04

Renewal Application Submission

We file the complete renewal application with the Migration Ministry, obtain the bridge confirmation of continued legal stay, and manage all follow-up correspondence with the authority.

05

Permanent Residency Assessment

After five years, we assess your eligibility for permanent residency — a status that removes the investment maintenance requirement and provides unconditional long-term security in Greece.

06

Citizenship Pathway Advisory

We advise on the naturalisation requirements — including language, integration, and time-in-country conditions — for clients seeking to pursue full Greek and EU citizenship after seven years.

5yr
Renewal Cycle
The Golden Visa is renewed every five years. Renewal is guaranteed provided the qualifying investment is maintained and documentation is complete.
5yr
To Permanent Residency
After five years of legal residence in Greece, investors may apply for permanent residency — independent of continued investment.
7yr
To Greek Citizenship
Seven years of legal residence opens the pathway to Greek naturalisation — granting full EU citizenship and one of the world's most powerful passports.

Citizenship Planning from Day One

For clients with long-term ambitions of Greek citizenship, we build a strategic plan from the initial application — tracking residency days, integration milestones, and language requirements over time.
