A Mediterranean home a short flight from Tel Aviv, a foothold in the European Union, and a euro-denominated asset in a stable neighbour. We verify the property and confirm the genuine Golden Visa threshold on the Greek side — with the straight facts a considered investor expects.
Independent Greek counsel, in English. We act for you, not the seller — and we tell you plainly when a €250,000 listing does not meet the law.
Of all the markets that look to Greece, Israel is among the closest — a direct flight of a couple of hours, daily connections, a shared sea. That proximity changes what a Greek property is: not a distant holding, but a genuinely usable second home, reachable for a weekend, while also serving as a foothold in the European Union and a euro-denominated asset in a stable nearby economy.
The legal process is well-established, and it rewards a careful approach — which suits the considered, due-diligence-minded way Israeli investors tend to proceed. We verify the property and the transaction before you are committed: clean title, lawful construction, no hidden encumbrances, and the correct Golden Visa threshold where residency is the aim.
We act for you alone, never the seller, take no commission on the sale, and report in writing, in English. We advise on Greek law only — your Israeli tax, currency and reporting questions are for your own Israeli adviser, with whom we are glad to coordinate.
A focused, independent legal review of the specific property, reported in writing. The fee is fixed and quoted upfront.
Which threshold genuinely applies to this property — €800,000, €400,000, or €250,000 only in qualifying conversion or listed-building cases — verified, not assumed from marketing.
The ownership chain, co-ownership shares, and any mortgage, lien, seizure or third-party claim registered against the property.
Cadastral (Κτηματολόγιο) registration, building permits, and whether the structure matches what was lawfully authorised.
The price paid bank-to-bank as the law requires, with source-of-funds documentation prepared for the file; cash payment can invalidate the application.
Which family members may be included — spouse, dependent children, and certain dependent parents — subject to the statutory conditions at the time of application.
The scope of Power of Attorney needed to manage the purchase and application from Israel, and how it is signed and apostilled.
The figure that genuinely applies depends on the property and its location — and is frequently misrepresented in marketing. We confirm it before you commit.
Attica, the Regional Unit of Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with a population of more than 3,100 residents.
All other regions of Greece. A single property, minimum 120 m² in the standard residential categories.
Only change-of-use conversions and listed-building restorations, under strict statutory conditions, usable once per property — not a general low-cost route.
To date, we have filed Golden Visa and residence applications for hundreds of families, with no rejections. We protect that record the only way it can be protected — by carefully preparing the matters we accept, declining those we cannot stand behind, and telling clients the truth about a property before they commit.
Many steps may be managed through a notarised Power of Attorney, subject to acceptance by the competent notary, authority, bank or registry. The biometric appointment for the residence permit requires physical presence in Greece — straightforward, given the short flight. The statutory processing period for the permit is 90 days.
Signed before the Greek embassy or consulate in Israel, or a local notary with Apostille, authorising the firm to act on defined matters.
Greek tax number and bank account arranged, so the price transfers bank-to-bank with documented source of funds.
Title, planning, cadastre and threshold checks completed and reported; the notarial deed signed and registered.
The Golden Visa application filed, family included where eligible, with one short trip to Greece for biometrics.

For a larger or more complex acquisition — development land, a portfolio, or a company holding the asset — see Greek property due diligence. And before any commitment, the independent Legal Risk Check is the right starting point.
Tell us about the property you are considering. A supervising partner will review the details and respond personally, usually within one business day, to confirm the genuine threshold, the scope, and the fixed fee for a written legal note.
There is no obligation, and nothing here creates a lawyer–client relationship until terms are agreed in writing. We advise on the Greek side and coordinate with your Israeli adviser on tax and reporting.

Yes. Israeli nationals may buy and own property in Greece and, where the qualifying investment is met, obtain the Golden Visa residence permit. The process mirrors that for other non-EU investors: due diligence, notarial deed, registration and, for residency, the Golden Visa application. The price must be paid by bank transfer to a Greek account in the buyer's name, with the source of funds documented.
€800,000 for Attica, the Regional Unit of Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with a population of more than 3,100 residents; €400,000 for other regions; and €250,000 only in specific qualifying cases such as change-of-use conversions and listed-building restorations, subject to statutory conditions and usable only once per property. The applicable threshold must be verified for each specific property.
Greece is a short, direct flight from Tel Aviv, which makes a Greek property unusually practical for Israeli owners — reachable for weekends and summers, not only as a distant investment. The residence permit does not require you to live in Greece, but the proximity makes both using the home and attending the single biometric appointment straightforward.
Yes. Many steps may be managed through a notarised Power of Attorney, subject to acceptance by the competent notary, authority, bank or registry — including the tax number, bank account, due diligence, deed and registration. It can be signed before the Greek embassy or consulate in Israel, or a local notary with an Apostille. The biometric appointment for the residence permit requires physical presence in Greece.
The Golden Visa is a residence permit and does not by itself grant citizenship; Greek citizenship is a separate process and Greece does not offer citizenship by investment. The permit generally allows inclusion of family members, subject to the statutory conditions. Israeli tax, currency and reporting questions are matters of Israeli law for your own Israeli adviser; we advise on the Greek side only.
