🏡 Investing in Greece: A Strategic Move for Turkish Citizens
Many Turkish nationals are exploring Greece for property investments, lifestyle relocation, or securing an EU residency pathway. Whether you’re acquiring a second home, establishing fiscal residency, or planning your legacy, careful planning is key to protecting your wealth and ensuring legal compliance.
💼 Residency Options for Turkish Nationals
While Turkish citizens are not EU nationals, there are still accessible residency pathways:
-
Golden Visa Program: Minimum €250,000 property investment
-
Independent Means Visa: For financially self-sufficient individuals
-
Business & Employment Visas: For entrepreneurs and specialists
-
Residency by Family Reunification: Spouses or children of legal residents
Each path requires tailored legal documentation and careful tax planning.

Understanding the tax relationship between Turkey and Greece is crucial.
Key considerations include:

Double Tax Treaty: Prevents double taxation on income and property
-
Property Tax (ENFIA): Annual Greek real estate tax
-
Capital Gains Tax: May apply upon selling Greek property
-
Inheritance & Gift Taxes: Apply differently depending on residency status
-
Declaration of Foreign Assets: Required under Greek law for residents
