Fund units fluctuate in value and can be worth less than the amount subscribed. This table compares what you put in, not what you get back.

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 the money goes

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.

  1. 01
    You, the investor

    Source of funds evidenced by you, in your own name.

  2. 02
    Your personal / Greek bank account

    An account in your name. We coordinate the opening; we have no authority over it.

  3. 03
    The regulated fund

    You subscribe in your own name; the money moves from your account to the fund.

  4. 04
    The fund’s underlying assets

    Greek securities, bonds and other eligible assets, managed by the fund under its own rules and supervision.

  5. 05
    Fund 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.
How we are paid

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.

What we do not take
  • Fund sales commission
  • Kickbacks from a fund manager
  • A share of your subscription
  • Referral or introduction fees
  • A cut of an estate agency fee
What we do take

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.
