Who is Eligible for Greek Citizenship?
1. Greek Citizenship by Descent
If you have Greek ancestry, you may qualify for citizenship by descent. This can include a parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or even further back. The process complexity increases with more distant ancestors.
2. Greek Citizenship by Naturalization
This route is for those who have adopted Greece as their home. EU citizens need to reside in Greece for at least three years, while non-EU citizens, like Americans and Australians, must live in the country for at least seven years.
3. Greek Citizenship by Marriage
Obtaining Greek citizenship through marriage is possible. To qualify, you must have lived in Greece for at least three years or have a child with your spouse.
4. Greek Citizenship by Investment
Through the Golden Visa Program, you can qualify for Greek citizenship by investing €400,000 in Greek real estate. This route still requires you to live in Greece for a 7-year period to meet the eligibility criteria.
