The Golden Visa is a residence permit for non-EU citizens who invest in Greek property. In Messinia the current minimum is €400,000, lower than Athens or the popular islands, in a market that still offers seafront value and an authentic place to live.

The investor and their immediate family receive Greek residence permits with free movement across the Schengen area. There is no minimum-stay requirement to keep the permit, a key difference from most European residence schemes.
The permit is tied to the investment: as long as the property remains yours, the permit is renewable.

In Athens and on the headline islands the Golden Visa threshold is higher. In Messinia, at the current €400,000 level, the same capital simply buys more: a villa with a view or a home near the sea, in a region growing steadily around Costa Navarino without losing its character.
