Minimum property acquisition value is set at €800,000Other regions:
Minimum property acquisition value is set at €400,000
The minimum investment value must apply to a single property.

The investment must be for a single property
The 120 sqm restriction does not apply
Conversion to residential use must occur after April 5, 2024 and before the residence permit application
Conversion may be completed either by the buyer or seller
Example:
A shop of 160 sqm converted into a residence on April 4, 2024 and purchased for €250,000 → Not eligible
The same property converted on April 6, 2024 → Eligible
Industrial Buildings
Minimum investment value: €250,000
Applies to a single property
No 120 sqm requirement

Also applies to additions/extensions or independent new structures on lots with such buildings, if converted into residences
Listed/Preserved Buildings
Minimum investment value: €250,000
Applies to a single property
No 120 sqm restriction
Applies to preserved buildings, or buildings to be restored/reconstructed
Includes additional constructions/extensions on such properties if used as residencesFor the first renewal, the complete restoration of the real estate elements or their total reconstruction is required, regardless of the cause of the alteration, collapse, or demolition of the buildings or their parts. The transfer of the property in this case before the full restoration or total reconstruction is completed is invalid.
Examples:
Apartment in Patras with 100 sqm of main space, a 10 sqm storage room, and a 10 sqm parking space, with a sale price of €380,000 for the apartment, €10,000 for the parking space, and €10,000 for the storage space, for a total price of €400,000, meets the minimum price requirement, but not the minimum area requirement for main spaces. Therefore, it CANNOT be used for the Permanent Investor Residence Permit.
Apartment in Patras with 120 sqm of main space and a total sale price of €250,000 meets the minimum area requirement for main spaces, but not the minimum value requirement. Therefore, it CANNOT be used for the Permanent Investor Residence Permit.
Shop in Patras, 80 sqm, with a total sale price of €250,000, and change of use to residential on 07/04/2024, CAN be used for the Permanent Investor Residence Permit, since in this case only the minimum value is considered, not the area of the main spaces.
Detached house in Palaio Faliro, Attica with 100 sqm of main space, 30 sqm of storage, and two 10 sqm parking spots, with a total sale price of €800,000, meets the minimum price requirement, but not the minimum area requirement for main spaces. Therefore, it CANNOT be used for the Permanent Investor Residence Permit.
Note:
Regarding the definition of a single property for the purpose of calculating the minimum investment value, the clarifying circular explicitly states that storage and parking spaces may be included only in the following cases:Residential properties without change of use
Industrial properties converted into residences
Listed (preserved) buildings
For the latter two categories, it is not clearly specified whether these additional spaces may also count toward meeting the minimum value requirement.
This document refers exclusively to the new provisions for acquiring a Permanent Investor Residence Permit through real estate investment.
In all cases, consultation with a legal advisor is strongly recommended before a property is proposed as eligible for the residence permit.
For transactions conducted during the transitional period, for example when a down payment was made by 31/08/2024, different provisions apply.
This document is issued subject to future amendments or clarifying circulars.
