Does Greece have a digital nomad visa?

AI Answer
Yes, Greece offers a digital nomad visa, officially called a "Digital Nomad Residence Permit," which allows remote workers to live and work legally in the country. It's a great option if you're looking for a Mediterranean lifestyle. To qualify, you need to prove you work remotely for an employer or clients outside of Greece. Your minimum monthly income must be at least €3,500 after tax. This increases by 10% for a spouse and 15% for each child. The visa is initially valid for one year, and you can then apply for a two-year residence permit. A significant perk is the special tax regime: digital nomads can benefit from a 50% tax exemption on their Greek-sourced income for the first seven years, provided they move their tax residency to Greece. Without this, standard income tax rates range from 9% to 44%. Considering Greece's lower cost of living compared to many Western European countries, and its high quality of life (scoring 7.2 out of 10 on our Net Life Value index), it’s a very attractive destination. Always verify the latest requirements on the official Greek government immigration website.
