Greece

Financially Independent Person Residence

Live in Greece with independent financial resources

Financially Independent Person Residence is designed for applicants with stable resources who do not rely on ordinary Greek employment.

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

Financial Independence

A large bank balance alone does not necessarily establish the required stability, regularity and availability of funds.

A Golden Visa property investment is not required for the FIP basis.

Active Greek employment or business activity requires separate assessment.

Applicants should not assume Golden Visa-style absence flexibility.

Immigration status and Greek tax residence are separate matters.

Assess income, pensions, investments and source of funds.

Compare FIP, Digital Nomad and Golden Visa options.

Calculate family resources and eligibility.

Coordinate financial, insurance and housing evidence.

Coordinate the applicable national visa and permit.

Plan renewals and long-term residence.

Do I need a Greek job?

No. The route is based on financial independence.

Can pension income qualify?

Potentially yes, where it is stable, lawful and adequately documented.

Can I work for a Greek company?

FIP status should not be treated as an ordinary employment permit.

We assess your resources, family and long-term residence goals together.
