Can You Combine Several Properties for the Greek Golden Visa?

The Greek Golden Visa single-property rule: why smaller units cannot be added up, what parking and storage count for, and the proposed portfolio route.

Single property rule of the Greek Golden Visa

No: the investment must be made in a single property, and smaller units can no longer be added together to reach the threshold (IBA, September 2026). Older guides say that two flats or several units could be combined; that applied to the earlier framework. The only change on the horizon is a proposed portfolio route in the new housing strategy, which is not operational yet.

The rule

Article 64 of Law 5100/2024 amended Article 100 of the Migration Code (Law 5038/2023) and replaced the earlier framework. Under it, the €800,000 level (Attica, the Thessaloniki regional unit, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with more than 3,100 residents) and the €400,000 level (elsewhere) are reached by one property, not by a basket of smaller ones. See thresholds by area.

What can still be added to the price

For a built property, or one with a building permit, the main areas must be at least 120 m². Storage rooms and parking spaces do not count towards those 120 m². Their value can count towards the investment amount if they are bought under the same deed and in the same building as ancillary spaces to the main unit (IBA). So a 120 m² flat with a parking space and a storage room in the same building can be bought on one deed; two separate flats cannot be added up.

Co-ownership and spouses: what is unclear

The IBA article does not say how co-ownership or spouses are treated. The sources we found disagree:

  • some agency pages say each co-owner must invest the minimum;
  • a lawyer Q&A page says a spouse joint purchase at a lower level counts for both, but another answer says this only works where the threshold is €250,000;
  • older answers refer to the earlier framework, so they may no longer apply.

There is no official text among them. If you plan to buy jointly with a spouse, ask your lawyer for the current position in writing from the competent office before you reserve. Family members are added to your application, not to the property: see family members and costs.

The proposed portfolio route

Greece's National Housing Strategy 2026–2035 was approved by the Government Committee for Housing Policy on 23 July 2026 and published in Government Gazette B' 5200 on 17 August 2026. It proposes a specialised category that would allow qualification through several properties committed to long-term residential letting. It needs specific legislation and possibly implementing decisions first, so transactions should not assume that aggregation is available (IBA).

Before you sign

  1. Make sure the contract is for one unit, with parking and storage in the same building and on the same deed.
  2. Check the area: 120 m² of main space for the €800,000 and €400,000 levels; the €250,000 conversion route has no minimum size.
  3. If more than one person pays, get your lawyer's written view on the current co-ownership rule.
  4. Use the threshold finder to confirm which level applies to the address.
