Steps to Greece Permanent residency

Step 1

Forest gate will provide assistance and advice with regards to the collection of the necessary documents in the checklist.

Step 2

The applicant must apply for an entry visa to the Greek consulate authority in their country of origin. Either a type C Schengen visa or a type D national visa is required to purchase a property in Greece.

Step 3

Forest Gate will guide you to the Greek property that fully satisfies your requirements and starts preparing property purchase documentation required to be presented for Residency application.

Step 4

The applicants must travel to Greece to get their passports stamped before submitting the Residency application.

Step 5

Forest Gate will prepare property purchase documents to complete the purchase. Property purchase funds and taxes will need to be transferred.

Step 6

The application is then submitted to the official Directorate of Immigration. If the Secretary-General approves the application, the investor and family will receive the residence permit.

Note:

The Residency cards and National ID’s are issued to you via courier once the balance of professional fees has been paid and settled. The granting of residence permits is at the sole discretion of the Greek Government but, generally, the application is only denied if the due diligence reveals that the applicant has made false statements in the application forms or other submitted documents; has engaged in criminal activities or is under investigation in relation to criminal activities; or has (or is alleged to have been) engaged in or associated with any activity that would bring disrepute to Greece.
