Greece · Digital nomad visa
Greece's digital nomad visa lets remote employees and freelancers live in Greece while working for employers or clients outside the country. We guide you through consulate requirements, income proof, accommodation, and the documents Greek immigration expects — before you travel.
Greece at a glance
Greece requires stable remote income from abroad, health insurance, and a Type D visa from your consulate before entry. Under Law 5275/2026, you can no longer enter as a tourist and apply in-country without that visa first.
€3,500/month
Under Article 68 of Law 5038/2023, single applicants need at least €3,500 net per month from active remote work (not passive income). A spouse adds 20% (+€700, about €4,200/month); each dependent child adds 15% (+€525/month).
Remote workers
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss employees and freelancers working remotely for companies or clients outside Greece. You cannot take employment with Greek employers or serve Greek clients on this route.
Consulate
Apply for a Type D national visa at the Greek consulate covering your legal residence before you travel. Law 5275/2026 abolished entering on a short-stay or visa-free stay to apply for the initial permit from inside Greece.
12 months +
The Type D visa is valid for up to 12 months. After entry, you apply in Greece for a two-year digital nomad residence permit before the visa expires — then renew while you continue to meet requirements.
Exact lists vary by consulate and nationality. Your NomadVisaReady plan maps what your post requests and which apostilles or translations Greece will accept.
Why Us
Greece has one of Europe's higher income bars for digital nomads, and consulates expect consistent proof over several months — not a single strong month.
How it works
We check nationality, remote work setup, income against the €3,500 benchmark (and dependant add-ons), and whether Greece fits your plans.
Personalized checklist: contracts, income proofs, insurance, housing, criminal records, and sworn translations your consulate expects.
We review scans and drafts against current Greek consulate standards — including the remote-work declaration and income narrative.
Guidance on consulate submission, travel timing, and your in-country residence permit application before the Type D visa expires.
Where nomads land in Greece
Greece offers mainland cities and islands — rent, connectivity, and admin access vary widely by location.
Your visa lets you live across Greece — we help you plan AFM registration, local steps, and practical setup after arrival.

Greece client stories
"The consulate wanted three months of bank statements that told one story. NomadVisaReady reorganized my payroll and invoice history — approved without a second request."
"I almost flew in on a tourist visa planning to 'sort it out there.' They stopped me and mapped the Type D route first — saved the trip."
"As a couple we needed the +20% income proof. They calculated €4,200 clearly and our file went through on the first submission."
Client stories
"I spent weeks on Reddit threads before finding NomadVisaReady. They caught an insurance gap that would've gotten my Estonia application bounced."
"As a contractor, proving income was my nightmare. The checklist and review calls made Spain straightforward — approved in six weeks."

Greece FAQ
Single applicants typically need at least €3,500 net per month from remote work. With a spouse, the benchmark is often around €4,200/month; each dependent child adds roughly €525/month. We calculate your household target during the eligibility review.
No. Since Law 5275/2026, you must obtain the Type D digital nomad visa at a Greek consulate before travel. You still complete a residence permit application after arrival — but only once you entered on the correct Type D visa, not on a tourist or visa-free stay.
After entry on your Type D visa, you apply for a two-year digital nomad residence permit at the local immigration office before the visa expires. The residence card is commonly issued within about three to four months of that application.
No. Income and work must come from outside Greece. Employment with Greek companies or substantial Greek-client income is not allowed on this visa. We review your client mix before you file.
Many consulates decide complete Type D applications in about 10 working days to a few weeks, though some posts take one to three months. The residence card after arrival often takes about three to four months. Your plan includes realistic timing for your consulate and region.
Yes. Family members can be included, but income thresholds increase (+20% for a spouse, +15% per dependent child). Documentation requirements expand as well.
Yes. You first obtain the two-year residence permit while your Type D visa is still valid, then renew that permit every two years while you continue to meet income and remote-work conditions.
