"Let's explore some of Greece's most popular residency routes... The Financially Independent Person (FIP) Permit Greece doesn't offer a retiree-specific visa so for those looking to enjoy their golden years in Greece, the Financially Independent Person (FIP) Permit is the preferred choice. To qualify for the FIP permit you will need to be able to show that you receive a monthly income of at least €3,500 (about $4,000) for a single applicant."
"If you are bringing dependents that figure rises by 20% for your spouse and an additional 15% for each dependent child. Other requirements of the FIP permit are that you reside in Greece for at least 183 days in a calendar year and thus become a tax resident. You are not permitted to work in Greece under the terms of this permit. This residency permit is issued for three years and is renewable."
"Greece's Digital Nomad Visa Greece's Digital Nomad Visa has the same financial thresholds as the FIP permit-a minimum monthly income of €3,500 (about $4,000) for a single applicant and an additional 20% for a spouse and additional 15% for each dependent child. The digital nomad visa allows holders to live in Greece and work remotely for an employer based outside of the country. To be approved for the visa applicants need to have a clean criminal record, hold private health insurance"
An estimated 1.5 to 3 million Americans claim Greek ancestry, and many are drawn to Greece by idyllic portrayals in popular culture. American and Canadian citizens may stay in Greece for up to 90 days without a visa. Longer stays require residency permits such as the Financially Independent Person (FIP) Permit or the Digital Nomad Visa. The FIP requires a minimum monthly income of €3,500 for a single applicant, higher thresholds for dependents, 183 days residence to become a tax resident, prohibits local employment, and is issued for three years with renewal. The Digital Nomad Visa shares the same income thresholds and permits remote work for non-Greek employers, with approval contingent on a clean criminal record and private health insurance.
