Moving to Greece involves choices that compound over years. The route you choose in year one affects your citizenship eligibility in year seven. We map the full journey before you start, then manage it end to end.
Strategic immigration planning is about matching your situation — budget, nationality, family, income source, timeline — to the right legal pathway. Most people arrive at this decision with one variable in mind (usually "Golden Visa" or "Digital Nomad Visa"). We map all five pathways and their intersections before recommending anything.
The permit you choose affects your tax obligations, your family's coverage, the speed of your path to citizenship, and your options if circumstances change. Getting it right at the start is the most cost-effective legal investment you can make.
Investment-based residency from €400,000. No stay requirement. Path to citizenship after 7 years.
Best for: Investors and families who want EU access without relocating.
Golden Visa details →Income-based residency. No property required. Minimum €3,500/month. Live and work remotely from Greece.
Best for: Remote workers, freelancers and retirees who want to live in Greece.
Residence permit details →No investment or residency required. If your family is Greek, this may be your fastest EU passport route.
Best for: Diaspora families with a Greek ancestor.
Citizenship details →Joining a family member already legally resident in Greece. Permit duration mirrors the primary holder's.
Best for: Spouses and children of permit holders.
Residence permit details →After 7 years of residence (3 if married to a Greek citizen). The long-term path for those already building a life in Greece.
Best for: Long-term residents ready to make Greece permanent.
Citizenship details →Why sequencing matters: The order in which you acquire permits, make investments and file applications affects your tax exposure, your family's coverage, and ultimately your path to citizenship. A strategic advisory call at the start costs a fraction of what an avoidable mistake costs to fix.
From the first pathway analysis call to the final permit renewal — or the citizenship oath — we manage every step. You receive a single point of contact who knows your file, your timeline and your goals.
Mapping all options to your specific profile — nationality, budget, income source, family situation and long-term goals.
What to do, when, and in what order. Including which steps are prerequisites for which, and where delays typically arise.
We work alongside your tax adviser to ensure the immigration strategy is coherent with your tax position in Greece and your home country.
From document collection and apostilles to permit submission and card issuance. We manage all authority communications.
As your situation changes — new family members, new income sources, new eligibility thresholds reached — your legal status should reflect that. We manage renewals and status upgrades proactively.
The Greek immigration guide covers all five pathways, how they interact, what each costs in time and money, and which is right for which profile. Written by Nadia, updated for 2026.
