Starting from December 23rd, Greece adopted new measures to facilitate foreign investors’ plans. The potential Golden Visa investors can complete now all the Golden Visa procedures from where they reside, including the application of a Greek Tax Number, opening a Greek bank account, from acquisition of properties to business plans elaboration or intangible investments’ implementation and the submission of their Golden Visa application without travelling to the country, through signing a Power of Attorney at a Greek Consulate that is nearest to their current residence.
Temporary Greek resident permits will be issued upon successful application and investors along their family members can enter the Greek territory under their Blue cards, within 12 months to submit their biometric data regardless of the travel restrictions that might be imposed. Permanent resident cards are expected to be issued in 2 months thereafter.
