Golden Visa Greece - One Mandatory Visit Only


On clients' request the entire process can be concluded by an authorized Proxy under a Power of Attorney, which means that in principle the client is not required to be present in Greece for a long period of time. However, the physical presence of the client is mandatory once, during the collection of the biometric data from the local authority responsible for granting the RP.

This means that the investor is given the option to conclude the process with one visit where the client and the rest of the applicants for the Greek Golden Visa will need to be present on a certain date for providing their biometric data to the authority granting the RP. Yet one more visit may be required for viewing properties he/she has chosen.
