Golden visa surge sets the stage for InvestPro Greece 2025

A surge in Golden Visa approvals, billions in foreign property inflows and stricter investment rules have pushed Greece back into the sights of global investors. Those shifts will take centre stage when leading advisers and financiers gather in Athens for InvestPro Greece 2025

Athens will host InvestPro Greece 2025 on 3 December, with Bosco Conference bringing together specialists in investment migration, real-estate development, finance and corporate services at a time when Greece has returned to the centre of global investor attention.

Consultancy data show the scale of activity driving the sector. Between January and July 2025, Greece issued 17,254 Golden Visas — a 31.4 per cent rise since the start of the year — with the strongest demand from Turkey, China and Israel, underscoring the programme’s appeal as a gateway to EU residency.

In 2024, a further 9,289 applications were submitted, generating more than €2.32 billion in real-estate investment.

Foreign interest continues to lift the wider property market. The Bank of Greece’s 2024 report recorded €2.75 billion in net receipts from non-resident purchases, up from €2.13 billion in 2023.

Residential prices also moved sharply higher throughout the year, with quarterly increases ranging from 10.8 per cent in the first quarter to 6.6 per cent in the final quarter.

The September 2024 policy shift, which lifted minimum property investments to €800,000 in Athens, Thessaloniki and densely populated islands and €400,000 elsewhere, has created a more selective environment.

April 2025 saw applications fall 28.5 per cent year-on-year, which analysts link to the tighter rules. Even so, the broader indicators continue to point to Greece as a competitive and attractive destination for cross-border capital, despite early signs of saturation noted by some market observers.

Against this backdrop, InvestPro Greece 2025 will bring delegates into contact with Golden Visa providers, legal advisers, financial institutions and corporate-service firms, with organisers highlighting the event as an opportunity to meet prospective clients and build international partnerships in a market undergoing rapid regulatory and structural change.
