Greece plans to phase out real estate residency permits: bill submitted to parliament
If approved, new applications for B.5 category residency permits through real estate will no longer be accepted. However, applications already under review will continue to be processed under the previous terms, and existing permits can be renewed without hindrance. That said, real estate linked to the Golden Visa will be subject to stricter short-term rental restrictions.
Instead of residential property investments, the party proposes incentivizing investments in science, business, and job creation.
