All about the Greek Residency Visas

Relocating and residing in an EU country, bathed in sunlight and blessed with superb clean sea-beaches and worm climate, like Greece and being able to travel all over the EU unencumbered, is a wish of many, but it is not a free option of all who wish it. EU member countries’ nationals can do just this, as well as engaging in any form of business activities, while residing in Greece.

For non-EU member countries’ nationals, residing in Greece is less free, requiring a Residency Visa, such as;
• a Greek Golden Visa (GGV) of a 5-year duration, allowing access to the Schengen Area, obtained via an investment of a sum, from € 250K, to € 400K or € 800K – it is worth noting, that there are still, some – very few – remaining Greek Golden Visas, for € 250,000, in Athens, as well as, a few others for € 400,000, in very desirable country locations,
• a Greek FIPs (Financially Independent Person’s) Visa, obtained by supplying proof of a monthly secure income (for example a pension of same amount) of at least € 3,500 per applicant, plus 15% for ones’ spouse, of 3-year duration, allowing access to the Schengen Area,
• a Greek DM (Digital Migrants) Visa of 2-year duration, obtained by supplying information of ones’ business or services derived income, allowing access to the Schengen Area.
Obtaining any of these three types of Greek Residency Visas, is perfectly possible and easily done, digitally by yourself or, as we strongly suggest, under expert guidance, provided locally by professionals, THALATTA.homes could introduce you to.

Engaging in Businessing while a Greek Residency Visa holder

Having a Greek residency Visa does not automatically, enable one to engage in doing business in Greece (unless of course, one is a national of an EU member countries), but anyone, almost of any nationality, can do just that, through a Greek company, belonging to him personally or via a company of his, such as a UK registered LLC. Such a Greek company would be treated as any other Greek company, taxed at 22%, but equally so, being able to benefit from a multitude of EU and Greek Government support programs and subsidies.

For information regarding engaging in business in Greece, please visit our www.thalatta.homes site or, even better, go directly to the appropriate section, https://thalatta.homes/living businessing/

In Greece, it is common, unfortunate, practice that estate agents would attempt to receive commissions from both the seller and the buyer, something that most people and certainly TTUK, would consider a serious conflict of interest. Some may even often suggest that you use the same lawyer as the seller (‘’to save money and time’’) and (even worst) to use the same Notary Public. TTUK, a UK company and its UK-bread directors act and will act exclusively as Buyer’s Agents, i.e. would be looking after the interests of their clients – in this instance, the buyers.

All you would have to do, as it is your legal right, is to inform a seller’s agent, that you intent to engage a buyer’s agent and that your agent (TTUK, if you would so decide), would contact them to handle the process on your behalf. Alternatively, you could ask us to perform this task – and we would oblige readily. Most estate agents, would accept it and agree. A refusal would betray bad faith, in most people’s opinion.
