Pursuant to article 97 par. 1 of Law 5038/2023, a residence permit for investment activity (Golden Visa) may be granted to third-country nationals who intend to establish and operate a business based in Greece for the purpose of making an investment of at least five hundred thousand (500,000) euros, which will have a positive impact on national development and the economy.

Under the recently enacted Law 5275/2026, a significant change has been introduced regarding the procedure for obtaining a residence permit for digital nomads.

Specifically, until now, interested third-country nationals had the possibility to enter the country and apply for the granting of a residence permit as digital nomads either after obtaining a national entry visa from the competent consular authority (Visa D) or with a uniform entry visa (tourist visa) or under a visa exemption regime.
