Immigration Law – Residence Permit

Our Practice Areas

At our office, we offer comprehensive services in the area of immigration law. Specifically, we offer legal counsel and representation to clients in front of relevant authorities regarding all types of residence permits and the process of obtaining Greek citizenship.

Overview

Non-EU residents who can demonstrate a monthly taxable income of more than 2,000 euros in their home country may qualify for a Greek residence permit.

For individuals, we offer advice and legal assistance if they wish to establish permanent residency in Greece, be it for work, study, or simply residing in the country. We help them in obtaining the appropriate residence permit that suits their needs. One of the most sought-after residency permits in Greece is the permit for foreign high-value real estate buyers.

By purchasing such property, non-European Union nationals have the opportunity to obtain a five-year residency permit in Greece and the freedom to travel within the Schengen Area countries without the need for additional visas.

Visa Type D- Long-stay-Visa (stay for longer than 90 days up to 1 year)

A type-D Visa allows the holder to stay in Greece for a period exceeding 90 days but no longer than 365 days. The duration for the visa depends on the reason for applying. The holder is entitled to exit and enter Greece as many times as they want during the permitted time. A benefit for acquiring this type of visa is the ability to travel to other Schengen Area Countries for one quarter per semester.
