Family Reunification allows certain legally resident third-country nationals to bring eligible family members to Greece.

The sponsor's exact residence category determines the applicable family rules.

CETO Global assesses each case and coordinates the process with qualified Greek immigration, legal, corporate and tax professionals where required.
