Як в’їхати

Хто і на яких умовах може в’їхати — безвізові вікна та в’їзні візи (Greece).

Visa-free short stay (Schengen 90/180)

чиннийБезвізове перебування

Для: US citizens, UK citizens, Ukrainian citizens

Тривалість
3 місяці
Шлях до ПМП
Ні
Вимоги (4)
  • Valid (for Ukraine, biometric) passport of a Schengen visa-exempt country
  • Maximum 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen area
  • Tourism, family visit or business only — local gainful work is not permitted
  • Sufficient means and accommodation

Податкові наслідки: Short visa-free stays generally do not create Greek tax residency; working remotely for foreign clients during such a stay is a legal grey zone.

Standard Schengen visa-free entry for exempt nationals (US, UK, biometric-passport Ukraine). The lawful window to prepare a first residence/nomad-visa application, but not a work status. EU citizens use free movement. ETIAS is being phased in for visa-exempt travellers.

Як залишитися надовго

Вимоги (4)
  • EU/EEA and Swiss nationals may live and work in Greece with no visa or permit
  • For stays over 3 months, obtain a registration certificate (βεβαίωση εγγραφής) from the local authority
  • Freedom of establishment: freelance or run a business on the same terms as Greek nationals

Податкові наслідки: Greek tax residency after 183 days or centre of vital interests; full access to the freelancer regimes, including the 50% new-resident exemption if relocating.пов’язаний режим →пов’язаний режим →пов’язаний режим →

For EU/EEA/Swiss freelancers this is the simplest path — free movement plus freedom of establishment, only a registration formality. A relocating EU freelancer can still claim the 50% new-resident income-tax exemption. Duration shown as the 5-year run to permanent residence.

Digital nomad visa / residence permit

чиннийВіза цифрового номада

Для: Усі, крім EU citizens

Вимога до доходу: 3 500 EUR/month (Net monthly income of at least €3,500 (after tax) from remote work for employers/clients outside Greece; +20% for a spouse, +15% per child. Verify the current figure for the application year.)

Вимоги (4)
  • Non-EU remote workers (employees, freelancers or company owners) working for employers/clients OUTSIDE Greece
  • Prove net monthly income of at least €3,500 from foreign sources; a 12-month digital-nomad visa is issued first, convertible to a 2-year residence permit
  • Declaration not to provide services or work for employers based in Greece
  • Health insurance and, for the residence permit, accommodation

Податкові наслідки: Staying over 183 days creates Greek tax residency; a relocating nomad can combine this with the 50% new-resident income-tax exemption (Article 5C) for a low effective burden.пов’язаний режим →пов’язаний режим →

Greece's dedicated digital-nomad route (Law 4825/2021): a 12-month visa then a 2-year residence permit, for remote workers earning from abroad. The €3,500/month net income bar is higher than in Albania/Bulgaria, but pairing it with the 50% new-resident tax exemption makes the after-tax economics attractive. Foreign-clients-only restriction applies.

Financially Independent Person (FIP) residence permit — no work

чиннийТимчасове проживання

Для: Усі, крім EU citizens

Вимога до доходу: 2 000 EUR/month (Stable annual passive income of at least €2,000/month (Article 20 para 1, Law 4251/2014); +20% for a spouse, +15% per child.)

Вимоги (4)
  • Non-EU nationals with sufficient stable passive income (pension, rents, dividends, savings) who will NOT work in Greece
  • Prove income of at least €2,000/month (+20% spouse, +15% per child), mainly via a foreign pension or bank statements
  • Type-D visa (electronic fee ~€1,000), then a 2-year residence permit, renewable
  • No labour-market access — no employed or self-employed activity in Greece

Податкові наслідки: No Greek gainful work allowed, so it does not pair with the freelancer regimes; relevant only to nomads living off passive income. Greek tax residency applies to worldwide income once resident.

Included because nomads ask about it, but it FORBIDS all gainful work in Greece — including remote self-employment — so an actively-earning remote worker cannot lawfully use it; it fits people living off passive income. Lower income bar (€2,000/mo) than the digital-nomad visa but no right to work.

For Ukrainian remote workers and freelancers this is the most accessible status: immediate residence and the right to work/self-employ, no income test, no fee. The EU-wide temporary protection currently runs to 4 March 2027.
