Greece Golden Visa Costs Explained — What You Really Pay

One of the most searched questions is: “How much does the Greece Golden Visa really cost?”
The answer goes beyond the headline investment number.

Purchase Price vs. Total Cost

Beyond the property price, investors should budget for:

• Transfer tax or VAT

• Legal fees

• Notary fees

• Land registry costs

• Residency application fees

Typically, transaction costs range between 8%–12% depending on the structure.

Renovation & Development Scenarios

For investors choosing land-plus-build or renovation routes, costs are staged and controlled — often reducing upfront capital exposure.

Operating Costs

Annual expenses may include:

• Property tax

• Management fees

• Maintenance

• Insurance

Proper planning ensures these costs are offset by rental income.

Why Cheap Can Be Expensive

Low-priced properties that fail to qualify or underperform financially often lead to:

• Rejected applications

• Poor liquidity

• Long holding periods
