Obtaining residence permits in Greece
Our law firm is actively involved in providing legal services to help third country nationals, whether they are investors or not, obtain residence permits. There are great many types of permits available, including those related to work or studies and those related to investments made by the applicant.

Residence permit for foreigners investing in real estate in Greece (Golden Visa Scheme)
Our law firm provides comprehensive, top class legal services during the entire process of acquiring a Golden Visa for investments in real estate properties in Greece. In particular, we provide advice to third-country nationals during the initial stage of selecting the property, carry out the necessary legal due diligence on the title deeds, and take all steps necessary to ensure proper and immediate completion of the sale agreement, which may also be done using the relevant power of attorney. This gives the investor concerned the flexibility to not be physically present when the preliminary agreement and the final sale contract are being prepared.
After the property is acquired, our legal team undertakes to fully compile the dossier that the prospective investor and/or members of his/her family need to submit to the competent Ministry and the relevant application form for a Golden Visa in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions, and to assist the prospective investor by providing the relevant legal services during the entire process.
