Greece Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?

Check whether your income meets Greece's digital nomad and financially independent person visas for your whole family, and see the golden visa minimums.
How it works

Using the checker

  1. Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
  2. Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
  3. Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.

How the amounts are worked out

Greece sets fixed amounts in a joint ministerial decision: €3,500 a month net for the applicant, plus 20% for a spouse or partner and 15% for each child. Income paid monthly is checked per month; bank deposits are checked per year — €42,000 for one person.

  • Digital nomad visa — remote work for an employer or clients outside Greece; a residence permit for two years.
  • Financially independent person (FIP) — living on a pension, rents or savings without working in Greece; a permit for three years, renewable.
  • Golden visa — a property of €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and the larger islands, €400,000 elsewhere, €250,000 for converting a building to housing or restoring a listed one. One property of at least 120 m², not let out short-term.

Before you apply

You will need a Greek tax number (AFM) and health insurance. A lawyer checks the file and, for the golden visa, the property's title and permits before you pay.
