Golden Visa de Grecia por Compra de Vivienda, Desde Irán
Iranian families use the Greek golden visa for a secure European residence. What is different from Iran: sanctions mean funds cannot move from Iranian banks, so the investment must come from documented money held abroad; documents go through Iranian legalisation; and Greek banks apply enhanced checks.

Respuesta rápida
Iranian citizens can get a Greek golden visa by buying property worth €400,000 or more (€800,000 in Athens, Thessaloniki and the most popular islands). Because of sanctions, funds must come from accounts outside Iran with a documented source. Iran is not in the Apostille Convention, so documents are legalised. A Schengen visa is needed to enter Greece for biometrics.

Qué cambia desde Irán
Funds from outside Iran
International transfers from Iranian banks are not possible under sanctions, so the purchase is paid from accounts held abroad. Greek banks apply enhanced due diligence to Iranian clients; clear evidence of how the money was earned is essential.
Legalised documents
Iranian civil documents and the criminal record certificate are translated by an official translator, certified by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and legalised by the Greek embassy, then translated into Greek.
Nationality
Iran does not recognise the renunciation of Iranian nationality in most cases; the golden visa gives residence, not citizenship.

Paso a paso desde Irán
Set the budget by area
Choose the tier: €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and larger islands; €400,000 elsewhere; €250,000 only for commercial-to-residential conversions or listed buildings. Each property must be at least 120 m² for the higher tiers. Santorini and other designated border areas need a defence-ministry permit for non-EU buyers.
Get a Greek tax number and account
A lawyer can obtain your AFM tax number and open a Greek bank account under power of attorney.
Buy and register the property
Sign with a notary, pay from an account abroad through a Greek bank, and register the title. Short-term rental of golden visa property is not allowed.
Enter Greece and give biometrics
Apply for a Schengen visa (in Iran or your country of residence), travel to Greece and give biometrics.
Receive the five-year permit
The permit is renewable every five years while you keep the property; there is no minimum stay.
Documentos y legalización
Irán no es parte del Convenio de la Apostilla, así que los documentos públicos necesitan la cadena completa: certificación por la autoridad emisora y el ministerio de exteriores, y legalización por la embajada o consulado de Grecia. Tradúcelos con traductor jurado cuando haga falta.
Normalmente necesitarás un certificado de antecedentes penales de Irán y de cualquier otro país en el que hayas vivido recientemente.
Dónde solicitar
The application is filed in Greece (usually by a lawyer under power of attorney); you must be in Greece legally for biometrics.
