Twelve-month Greek national long-stay visa for non-EU remote workers earning at least €3,500/month, leading to a renewable 2-year Digital Nomad residence permit.
Greece's Digital Nomad Visa is a national long-stay (Type-D) visa under Law 4825/2021 for non-EU/EEA professionals working remotely for employers or clients outside Greece. Issued by Greek consulates, it targets freelancers, remote employees, and online business owners who can prove net monthly income of at least EUR 3,500, with thresholds rising 20% for a spouse and 15% per child.
The entry visa runs up to 12 months at a EUR 180 consular fee, after which holders may apply for a 2-year Digital Nomad residence permit (renewable) via migration.gov.gr. Applicants supply proof of remote work, clean criminal record, private health insurance, and Greek accommodation. Spouses and minor children may join; consular decisions typically take 10 working days.
This visa is ideal for established remote workers and freelancers with non-Greek clients, stable income above EUR 3,500/month, and a plan to base themselves in Greece long-term.
