Your Gateway to Europe: Greece’s Golden Visa for Indian Investors
Real Estate Mumbai:As global mobility becomes an increasingly important goal for Indian investors, Greece is emerging as one of the most practical and rewarding gateways to Europe. Known for its azure seas, safe cities, and resilient economy, the Mediterranean nation now offers much more than scenic holidays - it presents a tangible route to European residency through its Golden Visa programme.

At the forefront of this opportunity is MIBS Group, one of Greece's leading real estate developers, renowned for its deep local expertise and personalized investor support. With a newly established office in Mumbai, the company is helping Indian families take their first confident step toward global living.

Why Greece's Golden Visa Stands Out

For Indian high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and business families, the Greek Golden Visa is one of Europe's most accessible residency-by-investment programmes. By purchasing real estate worth €250,000 or more, non-EU citizens can secure residency rights - not only for themselves but for their entire family, including spouse, children, and dependent parents.

Residency under the Golden Visa provides visa-free travel across 29 Schengen countries, access to top-tier European education and healthcare, and the option to live or retire in a peaceful, secure environment. There's no minimum stay requirement, properties can be rented out, and investors can choose their property and apply remotely - making it convenient for those who wish to retain their base in India while expanding global opportunities.

Step-by-Step Process: How It Works

1. Property Selection : Investors start by selecting a real estate investment that qualifies for the Golden Visa.

2. Investment Procedure Completion : MIBS Group, alongside its legal partners, guides investors through due diligence, documentation, and contract signing, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.

3. Application Submission and White Paper Issuance : Once the property purchase is complete, the Greek Golden Visa application process begins. A white paper is issued to allow entry into Greece.

4. Biometrics Data and Visa Processing : Within one year, applicants visit Greece for biometric data collection. Property ownership verification and proof of funds are submitted alongside biometric information.

5. Golden Visa Issuance : Within a short processing time, successful applicants receive a five-year renewable residency permit. The visa can be renewed indefinitely if the property investment is maintained.

“MIBS Group simplifies the entire process for Indian investors - from identifying the right property to managing legal, administrative, and after-sales aspects,” says Elena Shiapani, CEO of MIBS Group. “Our goal is to make global living an attainable reality, not a complex journey.”

Lifestyle Beyond Investment

Beyond its investment appeal, Greece offers a balanced lifestyle that resonates deeply with Indian families. The country enjoys 300 days of sunshine annually, a Mediterranean diet known for longevity, world-class beaches, and a strong sense of community. Cities like Athens and Thessaloniki host international schools, efficient healthcare systems, and a cosmopolitan environment - ideal for families planning relocation or higher education abroad.

A Trusted Partner for Indian Investors

“MIBS Group is not just selling properties,” adds Gaurav Tarkar, Head of Business Development & Sales, India. “We're helping families build generational wealth and open doors to a global future. With our Mumbai office, Indian investors now have direct access to transparent guidance, bilingual experts, and complete post-purchase support.”

The Bigger Picture

As India strengthens its economic and strategic ties with Europe through initiatives like the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC), Greece is gaining prominence as a safe, profitable, and strategically located investment destination. With consistent GDP growth, rising property values, and robust tourism inflows, the country's real estate market offers promising capital appreciation and rental returns.

For those ready to take the leap, Greece offers more than just a home in Europe - it presents a future anchored in opportunity, security, and global reach.
