How Long Does It Take to Get Greece Golden Visa?

After property purchase and complete documentation, the residence permit process usually takes a few months. Exact duration depends on document completeness, authority workload and whether any additional checks are required. Professional preparation of the file significantly speeds up the process and reduces the risk of delays.

Typical timeline: AFM and bank account (1-2 weeks), property purchase and notary (2-4 weeks), Type D visa application, entry to Greece, biometrics and residence card issuance (1-3 months after complete file submission). Total from decision to card can range from 3 to 6+ months depending on circumstances.
