Greece
Greece offers several types of visas depending on the duration and purpose of the visit. Greece is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area. Here is a summary of the primary visa categories:
Citizens of certain non-EU countries must hold a short-stay visa when travelling to the schengen area. This visa is required for individuals attending business meetings, conferences, trade fairs, seminars. A schengen visa is an entry permit for non-EU nationals to make a short, temporary visit of up to 90 days in any 180-day period to a country in the schengen area.
Aimed at highly skilled professionals from non-EU countries, the EU blue card allows individuals to live and work in Greece, provided they have high qualifications and a binding job offer from a Greek employer that meets certain salary thresholds. This visa also facilitates easier travel and work across other EU countries.
This visa is designed for employees who are being transferred by their multinational companies to work in a branch or entity located in Greece. It caters specifically to managers, specialists, or trainee employees.
These are intended for non-EU nationals involved in investment projects in Greece, offering them the opportunity to engage in activities related to significant financial or entrepreneurial undertakings.
Digital nomads from non-EU and non-EEA countries must navigate the standard work permit application process similar to other foreign workers. This includes obtaining a visa that permits employment in Greece, even if their work is primarily online and for companies outside of Greece.
There may be various ways in which citizenship can be obtained depending on the circumstances. Please reach out to Hudson McKenzie for an assessment to determine the best route.
