Back in September 2022 the Greek Prime Minister announced that the country would increase the minimum Golden Visa Investment threshold from €250,000 to €500,000 in 36 municipalities across the country, namely Athens and several surrounding locations, Thessaloniki, Mykonos and Santorini. At the start of this year it was announced that the transition period for the price rise would begin from May 2023, meaning all those wishing to invest at the lower level would need to have paid at least a 10% reservation fee on their chosen investment property by 30th April 2023.
The new legislation approving the price increase has now been officially approved, but with an extension on the deadline, which will now run until 31st July 2023.
