FAQ
How can I get a residence permit by buying property in Greece?

Is a mortgage available for non-residents in Greece?
Banks in Greece finance 50–70% of the property value for non-residents with rates of 3–5% for 20–30 years. A life insurance policy and a 30–40% down payment are usually required. Terms and programs vary by city and bank.
