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.
- €350,000
- Minimum investment
- 5 yrs
- Renewable permit
- 0 days
- Minimum stay
- 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 and source of funds are assembled by the Athens team; the application and its filing are done by a Greek-qualified lawyer. 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

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.
- 02A bank account in your name
A verifiable account in your name; whether it must be Greek is set by the fund’s and the depositary bank’s subscription process. We can help open one; 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.
One thing said up front: if you take the property route and instruct us as your estate agent, we charge an agency commission of 2% of the price, VAT included, set out in writing before you sign. The comparison already counts an agency fee on the property route at the market rate — it is there whoever the agent is.
View the complete fee breakdown- Fund sales commission
- Kickbacks from a fund manager
- A share of your subscription
- Referral or introduction fees
- Kickbacks from a developer
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.
If you instruct us as estate agent, an agency commission of 2% of the price, VAT included — also in writing beforehand.

The part of a case that is ours
Each line is a step every case passes through, handled by one Athens team. Approval and account opening are decided by the Ministry and the bank, not by us.
- AFM tax number + POAThe first step, handled remotely.Details
- Greek bank account supportThe subscription must leave your own account.Details
- KYC and source-of-funds fileWe assemble it; the bank and the fund each review it.
- Fund subscription documentsPrepared and checked with you — the investment decision stays yours.
- Application file and submissionSigned by a Greek-qualified lawyer and filed with the Ministry.
- Residence card renewalHandled when the five-year permit comes up.Details
Greek residency does not ask you to move. The door simply stays open.
Most clients do not move in the year after the card is issued. What they hold is an option: a school their children could attend, parents who can visit without applying for anything, somewhere to be in Europe when it matters.
The permit never requires you to use it. For most people that is precisely where its value sits: you do not have to decide now.
What else the Athens office does
The same team and the same case system. Plenty of clients arrive for a tax number and only later talk about residency.
Why FastGreece
One office, one case file, read in English, Chinese or Greek.
