The €250,000 Golden Visa, done properly.
Greece's lowest entry point into EU residency — available only through the conversion of commercial buildings to residential use. ABIS sources, structures and delivers exactly these projects.
One route. The lowest entry point in the programme.
€250,000 minimum investment
The lowest entry point in the current Greek Golden Visa programme — well below the €400,000 and €800,000 standard real-estate thresholds.
Commercial-to-residential conversion
Qualifying assets are commercial buildings — offices, retail or hospitality — converted to residential use under Greece's special-case rule.
Asset-backed, not a donation
Capital is invested in a real, deliverable property. Full Golden Visa rights extend to the investor, spouse, dependent children and parents.
We specialise in exactly this.
Source
Identify commercial buildings in eligible locations with sound conversion economics and clear title.
Structure
Legal, tax and Golden Visa structuring so the asset qualifies cleanly under the €250k special-case rule.
Convert & deliver
Manage the change-of-use permissions, refurbishment and handover end-to-end.
Apply & support
Coordinate the residence permit application for the investor and qualifying family members.
The €250k route
Greece's special-case threshold for commercial-to-residential conversions. The lowest entry point in the programme — and the route ABIS focuses on.
Visa-free Schengen travel
Move freely across the Schengen zone for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
No donation required
Investment is asset-backed — typically real estate — preserving capital and offering income potential.
Family included
Spouse, dependent children up to age 21 and dependent parents of both spouses can be included.
No minimum stay
There's no obligation to live in Greece to maintain residency — keep your life elsewhere.
Long-term path
Residency is renewable every five years and may, after qualifying periods, lead to citizenship.
One route we specialise in.
Conversion of commercial buildings to residential use, or restoration of listed/heritage properties in and around Athens. The lowest entry point in the Greek Golden Visa programme — and the only route ABIS focuses on.
Real estate investment outside the highest-demand prime zones.
Real estate in Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands.
Capital contributions, government bonds, fund shares or term deposits.
Thresholds reflect the current programme structure. Specific eligibility, zoning and pricing should be confirmed at application.
Upcoming €250k conversion projects.
ABIS releases €250,000-route opportunities to registered investors first. Share a few details and we'll be in touch as projects come online — no obligation.
A lifestyle and an EU foothold.
Beyond the residency itself, Greece offers what few EU countries can match: a temperate climate, world-class coastline, a strong tourism economy, and a property market that has been steadily revaluing.
For investors already exploring fractional ownership in hospitality, the Greek Golden Visa pairs naturally — combining a hospitality-grade asset with EU residency rights for the investor and their family.
