Greece's Turkish migrant population totals 10,934, placing them in the 10th position among migrant groups nationwide.
In the vibrant landscape of Greece, Turks and Chinese have emerged as the leading migrant communities participating in the country's Golden Visa program.
The Golden Visa program, managed by the Ministry of Migration and Asylum, grants residency rights in exchange for real estate investment. As of July 31, 2025, a total of 23,221 Golden Visas have been issued in Greece, with more than 65,000 people currently residing in the country under this scheme, including dependents.
Turks, the 10th largest migrant community in Greece, hold the second-highest number of Golden Visas, behind Chinese nationals. The Turkish migrant population in Greece is 10,934, representing 2.2% of all third-country nationals in the country. The gender balance among Turkish migrants is relatively even.
The largest group of third-country nationals in Greece is the Albanian community, with 268,964 members. However, when considering Turkish citizens as the second largest, the Albanians are followed closely by the Chinese, who hold the most residence permits in Greece's Golden Visa program.
The other top nationalities among third-country nationals in Greece, after Turks and Albanians, are Chinese, Pakistanis, Georgians, Bangladeshis, Russians, Ukrainians, Egyptians, and Filipinos.
It's important to note that the number of Turks in the Golden Visa program does not include those who may have obtained residency through other means. The number of people from these nationalities in Greece overall is 508,499, making them a significant part of Greece's diverse population.
EU member state citizens in Greece number 264,699, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of the country.
The Golden Visa program has undoubtedly contributed to an increase in the number of people residing in Greece, providing a boost to the country's economy and offering a glimpse into the global interest in its unique charm.
