Investment & Golden Visa Potential Beyond its appeal as a luxurious private residence, this property presents an interesting proposition for international buyers seeking a high-quality real estate investment in Crete. Its location in Chania, substantial living space, independent guest accommodation, sea views, and proximity to the city and coastline all contribute to its long-term appeal. For eligible non-EU investors, the property can be considered as part of a Greek Golden Visa investment strategy, subject to the current legislation, applicable minimum investment thresholds, property-use requirements, and confirmation of eligibility by qualified legal and immigration professionals. The Greek Golden Visa is particularly appealing to international investors seeking to combine residency benefits with investment in Greek real estate. The Potential benefits include: • Greek residence rights through an eligible investment • The opportunity to establish a base in Greece • Visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, subject to applicable rules • Investment in one of Greece's most internationally recognised destinations • Potential for long-term capital appreciation and rental demand • The opportunity to own property in one of Chania's most desirable central neighbourhoods Additional Information regarding the Golden Visa Program Important property rules: For the 800k€ route, the investment generally needs to be made in one property. Golden Visa properties acquired under these rules cannot be used for short-term rentals such as Airbnb. There are specific restrictions and transitional provisions depending on when the property was purchased and when the transaction/application was initiated, so the applicable threshold can depend on the transaction date. Family members: A major attraction is that the residence permit can cover the investor's qualifying family members. The Greek Ministry of Migration lists the Golden Visa as a permanent residence permit for investors, subject to renewal requirements and continued satisfaction of the investment conditions. What you get: The Golden Visa provides Greek residence rights and allows travel within the Schengen Area under the applicable 90-days-in-180-days rules. Importantly, it is not Greek citizenship. You don't automatically become a Greek citizen after buying property. Citizenship is a separate process with substantially different requirements, including residence/integration requirements A Prime Location in Chalepa The villa enjoys a peaceful residential setting while remaining conveniently close to everything Chania has to offer.
