Frequently Asked Questions
Does every Greek property qualify?
No. Location, property type, size, price and transaction structure must satisfy the applicable rules.
Can the €250,000 route still be used?
Potentially, but only for specific qualifying conversion or restoration situations.
Must I live in Greece to renew?
