What I liked
The Greek Golden Visa program through Astons remains one of the most established and widely used residency by investment routes in Europe in 2026. It allows non-EU investors to obtain a renewable residence permit through qualifying real estate investment, with entry thresholds depending on property type and location.
What I didn't like
The Greek Golden Visa is popular due to its flexibility, since it does not require full-time relocation while still granting access to Greece and the wider Schengen Area. Investors typically use it for mobility planning, property ownership, and long-term EU residency options. Astons provides full support throughout the process, including property selection, legal preparation, and application handling.
My overall impression
At the same time, the Greek Golden visa has seen regulatory updates in recent years, including changes in investment thresholds and regional property requirements, making structured planning and up-to-date guidance important for applicants.
