    Bar-number check: 5 of 33 listed firms have a lawyer with a verified bar number. How we verify

    A Greece Golden Visa lawyer should protect both sides of the case: the qualifying investment and the residence application. This directory lets you compare regulated law firms, practices with in-house lawyers and advisers that coordinate external counsel, then verify who will actually own each stage of your file.

    Property thresholds now depend on location and route, and the lower €250,000 routes apply only to specific conversions or listed-building cases. Do not rely on the asking price or an agent's description. Ask for written advice on the exact asset before paying a reservation deposit or granting a power of attorney.

    Greece Golden Visa Lawyer Comparison Checklist

    A Greece Golden Visa lawyer should connect two files that can fail independently: the qualifying investment and the residence application. A firm that only prepares immigration forms may miss title, planning or payment problems. A conveyancer who stops at the deed may leave the permit, biometrics, family applications and renewal unowned.

    Use the directory filters and provider profiles to build a shortlist, then ask each firm to confirm the scope below in writing. For the programme rules, start with the Greece Golden Visa guide. To model the investment and transaction costs before requesting quotes, use the Greece Golden Visa cost calculator.

    Compare the Legal Scope, Not Just the Headline Fee

    Ask every shortlisted provider to mark each stage as included, excluded or handled by a named third party. That makes quotes comparable and exposes gaps before money or authority changes hands.

    Greece Golden Visa legal services and evidence to request
    Stage Work the engagement should allocate Evidence to request
    Before you reserve a property Confirm the investment route, location threshold, permitted use, floor-area rule and whether the asset can support the residence application. A written eligibility view tied to the exact property and route.
    Property due diligence Check ownership, Land Registry and Cadastre records, mortgages and claims, planning status, building permits, unauthorised works and seller authority. A written title and planning report, with unresolved risks listed before signing.
    Purchase and payment Coordinate the Greek tax number, power of attorney, reservation and purchase contracts, notary, payment trail and registration of the deed. An itemised completion statement and copies of the signed and registered documents.
    Residence application Prepare the investor and family files, translations and certifications, insurance evidence, submission, biometrics and follow-up with the authority. A document checklist, filing receipt, application reference and named case contact.
    After approval Track residence-card collection, family changes, property restrictions, renewals and any sale or replacement of the qualifying investment. A written renewal scope, deadline calendar and record-retention plan.

    Current Property Rules to Test Before You Buy

    The mainstream real-estate threshold is €800,000 in the Region of Attica, the Thessaloniki Regional Unit, the Mykonos and Thira regional units, and islands with more than 3,100 residents. It is €400,000 elsewhere. Each route requires a single property. The 120 m² minimum for main spaces applies when the qualifying asset is built property; the Ministry’s 2026 circular treats undeveloped land without a building permit differently.

    A separate €250,000 conversion route can apply where a property’s main spaces changed from another use to residential use on or after 5 April 2024. The change must be complete before the residence application. A €250,000 listed-building route can also apply, but the restoration or reconstruction must be completed before the first permit renewal. Neither special route has the 120 m² minimum.

    For properties acquired under the current rules, short-term letting through the sharing economy and subletting are prohibited; the 2026 circular says the ban does not prevent a qualifying property from being let on a long-term lease. A conversion-route property also cannot be used as a company’s registered office or branch. Transitional and older acquisitions can be treated differently, so the lawyer must match the advice to the deed date and exact route.

    What the Residence Permit Does — and Does Not — Cover

    The investor residence permit does not itself give access to the Greek labour market for employment or self-employment. The 2026 circular allows holders to own shares and exercise limited corporate rights without working for the business, but it does not allow them to act as the company’s legal representative or an executive board member under this permit.

    Renewal depends on keeping the qualifying property or other investment. For the €250,000 listed-building route, the restoration condition must also be satisfied before the first renewal. If employment, a business role, sale of the property or a change of route is part of your plan, put that scenario to counsel before the transaction rather than after approval.

    What an Itemised Quote Should Show

    • Legal fees for the main applicant and each family member
    • Property due diligence, contract review, notary attendance and deed registration
    • Tax-number, power-of-attorney, translation, certification and courier work
    • Government, residence-card, notary, registry and professional third-party charges
    • VAT and any success, referral, property-finding or investment commissions
    • Biometrics, follow-up, card collection, renewal and post-completion support

    GVL does not treat a low headline fee as evidence of value. Compare the total expected cost and the work expressly included in the engagement letter.

    Six Questions for Your Shortlist

    1. 1Which Greek Bar Association is the responsible lawyer registered with, and can you give me the registration number?
    2. 2Will you advise on both the residence permit and the property transaction, or will another lawyer own part of the file?
    3. 3What checks will you complete before I pay a reservation deposit or sign a power of attorney?
    4. 4Does the quote include my spouse, children and parents, translations, notary work, biometrics and renewal support?
    5. 5Who receives commissions or referral fees from the seller, developer, agent or investment provider?
    6. 6How often will I receive a written status update, and how do I obtain my complete file if I change lawyers?

    Verify the Lawyer and the Rules at Source

    A polished website is not a professional-register check. Ask for the individual lawyer’s full name, registration number and Bar Association, then verify the record where the relevant association publishes a search. Keep a copy of the engagement letter and written scope with the result.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need a lawyer for the Greece Golden Visa?

    A lawyer is not a substitute for the government decision, but the usual property route involves legal work across title and planning checks, contracts, a notarial deed, registration, payment evidence and the residence application. Applicants should make sure those stages have a named owner before committing to a property.

    What should a Greece Golden Visa lawyer handle?

    The engagement should allocate investment-route advice, property title and planning due diligence, contracts, tax-number and power-of-attorney work, notary and deed registration, the investor and family residence applications, biometrics, follow-up and renewals.

    What are the current Greece Golden Visa property thresholds?

    The mainstream property threshold is €800,000 in the Region of Attica, the Thessaloniki Regional Unit, the Mykonos and Thira regional units, and islands with more than 3,100 residents, and €400,000 elsewhere. Those routes require one property and generally a built property's main spaces must be at least 120 m². Separate €250,000 routes can apply to qualifying changes from another use to residential use and to listed buildings, each with its own timing and restoration conditions. Confirm the route for the exact property before purchase.

    Can I rent out a Greece Golden Visa property?

    For property acquired under the current rules, short-term letting through the sharing economy and subletting are prohibited. The Ministry's 2026 circular says this does not prevent long-term letting. A property qualifying through the €250,000 change-of-use route also cannot be used as a company's registered office or branch. Older and transitional acquisitions can be treated differently, so check the deed date and route with counsel.

    Can a Greece Golden Visa holder work in Greece?

    The investor residence permit does not itself provide access to employment or self-employment in Greece. The current Ministry circular permits ownership of shares and limited corporate rights without working for the company, but not acting as its legal representative or an executive board member under this permit. Ask counsel about a different residence status if work is part of the plan.

    How can I verify a Greek lawyer?

    Ask for the individual lawyer's full name, registration number and Greek Bar Association. Check the relevant association's public member search where available, and ask GVL what evidence supports any verification label shown on the profile.

    How should I compare Greece Golden Visa legal fees?

    Request an itemised quote that separates the main applicant and family, property due diligence, contracts and notary work, translations, biometrics, government and registry charges, VAT, commissions, follow-up and renewal support. Compare the total scope rather than the headline legal fee.

    Can one Greece law firm handle the property and residence application?

    Many firms can coordinate both, but the engagement letter should say who is responsible for conveyancing, planning checks, tax, the residence file and follow-up. If another lawyer, notary or adviser handles part of the work, ask for their name, role and fee before signing.
