Residence permits by investment in Greece: three-bedroom apartments for rent

Real estate in Greece: the cost of renting three-bedroom apartments in 2021

Real estate in Greece is a liquid asset. Prices to buy and rent Greek real estate have been rising steadily since 2017, according to the Central Bank of Greece. We have already told you about the dynamics of real estate prices over the past 10 years.

In 2020, Greek real estate prices rose more slowly than in 2019. The reason is the crisis amid a coronavirus pandemic. As soon as the Greek economy recovers from the crisis, real estate prices will begin to rise faster.

Rent costs in different regions of Greece

Greece is divided into 14 administrative districts. Popular tourist destinations include the Aegean and Ionian Islands, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Heraklion.

The investor will receive a residence permit in Greece, a country that is part of the European Union. The conditions of the investment program are some of the most attractive in the region. The minimum investment amount is € 250,000, and the period of registration of the residence permit card takes 3 months.

To obtain a residence permit in Greece, an investor buys any property worth €250,000 in the country. It is also possible instead of buying a hotel rental for 5 years or apartments in the tourist complex for 10 years, the purchased land for construction or share in the tourist facility.

The resumption of tourism will help the country’s economy recover. The demand for hotels and apartments will increase, and with it, rental prices.
