The Greek government has recently expanded its Golden Visa program to include investments in the country’s burgeoning startup ecosystem. International investors now have the opportunity to gain a five-year residency permit in Greece by investing a minimum of €250,000 in local startups. This initiative, part of the broader strategy to foster innovation and economic growth, is particularly aimed at boosting sectors like technology, biotechnology, and financial technology (fintech).
What sets this program apart is the focus on startups registered with Elevate Greece, a national registry for innovative companies, which now includes over 800 startups. With Greece becoming an attractive destination for both investors and entrepreneurs, this new visa option creates a bridge between international capital and Greek entrepreneurial talent, creating a win-win situation for both parties

By leveraging this program, investors don’t just gain access to residency—they also gain a foothold in one of Europe’s fastest-growing startup markets. Greece’s strategic location and improving economic conditions make it a prime destination for those looking to invest in high-potential startups while securing residency in the EU.
