The €350,000 Golden Visa fund route
A €350,000 qualifying investment for a 5-year renewable Greek permit, with no purchase, conveyance or letting to manage. It is the route we handle most, and the one worth understanding first.
- No Greek property to buy
Property thresholds run from €250,000 to €800,000 depending on where it is. The fund threshold is one figure, wherever you are.
- A regulated investment structure
A subscription to an eligible regulated fund, with the units registered to you. We verify eligibility before an application proceeds.
- We handle the legal and the filing
Documents, KYC, source of funds, the application and its filing are handled by the Athens team. The investment decision stays yours.
FastGreece provides immigration and legal support, not investment advice. We put forward no specific fund and take no fund sales commission.
The same permit, two very different prices
Pick where you would consider buying, and see what that route ties up next to a €350,000 fund subscription.

Both routes lead to the same 5-year renewable permit. The difference is not the outcome — it is how much capital leaves your hands, and whether you have to look after it afterwards.
Where does my €350,000 actually go?
Every step of the chain stays in your own name. Not one link in it is a FastGreece account.
- 01You, the investor
Source of funds evidenced by you, in your own name.
- 02Your personal / Greek bank account
An account in your name. We coordinate the opening; we have no authority over it.
- 03The regulated fund
You subscribe in your own name; the money moves from your account to the fund.
- 04The fund’s underlying assets
Greek securities, bonds and other eligible assets, managed by the fund under its own rules and supervision.
- 05Fund units held by you
The units are your asset. The residence application is filed on the strength of holding them.
FastGreece does not hold or receive the €350,000.
- The investment is never transferred to any FastGreece account.
- What we provide is legal, immigration, KYC, banking-coordination and administrative work.
- What we charge is a disclosed service fee — not a fund commission.
Our fee is visible. Your investment is yours.
FastGreece charges a disclosed legal and administrative service fee. We take no sales commission, no kickback and no revenue share from any investment fund.
That keeps two things apart: immigration and legal advice on one side, distribution of an investment product on the other. An adviser paid by the fund has two clients.
The practical consequence: our fee is the same whether you end up in a fund or buying a flat. We have nothing riding on which way the comparison above comes out.
View the complete fee breakdown- Fund sales commission
- Kickbacks from a fund manager
- A share of your subscription
- Referral or introduction fees
- A cut of an estate agency fee
One legal and administrative service fee, itemised in full before you pay anything — the amount, what it covers and when each part falls due, all on the pricing page.
