Parallelly, the right to travel within Greece and throughout the Schengen zone is granted, without the need to issue any other document. A significant advantage is the fact that family members can equally enjoy the same privileges. Since 2016, we have cooperated with hundreds of families who found the proper housing or trusted us to find the right investment programme, obtaining a Golden Visa. Take your first steps on this journey with us by, initially, learning what exactly Golden Visa is, if you are eligible and which are the exact steps you need to complete to get one.
