The unstable economic situation in Greece is the reason that the local government is beginning to cut support for immigrants and returnees. Despite this, interest in immigration to Greece is still quite high, since obtaining a residence permit in Greece greatly facilitates the procedure for obtaining a similar permit in other EU countries.
Instructions
Step 1
Residence permit for a financially independent person This way those who are able to provide unearned income of a minimum amount of 2000 euros per month for themselves, 20% for the spouse and 15% for each child can apply for a residence permit. On an account in a Greek bank, you must have at least 24 thousand euros - these funds will be considered a guarantee of financial independence.
Step 2
Registration of marriage with a citizen (citizen) of Greece The residence permit will be provided for the duration of the passport and automatically renewed, provided that the marriage is not dissolved.
Step 3
Qualified managers and managers who know Greek and English, have a residence permit and a work permit have real chances to gain a foothold in the country. The Greek Ministry of Public Order and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issue work permits only if employers provide proof of the indispensability of the foreign worker and comply with a number of necessary formalities.
Step 4
Business immigration It is possible through the creation of a closed limited liability company (this is the organizational and legal form of activity in most companies in Greece) with an authorized capital of at least 18 thousand euros. Requirements for the minimum size of the authorized capital of an open joint stock company - at least 60 thousand euros. Managers and directors of such companies can apply for a residence permit.
Step 5
Repatriation The Greek Constitution and the Lausanne Convention of 1923 secured the possibility of the return to their homeland of persons of Greek nationality and their descendants. Mass repatriation was characteristic of the 90s of the last century; currently, due to the unstable political and economic situation in the country, there is an outflow of former repatriates to other countries.
Step 6
Family Reunification Any immigrant legally residing in Greece has the right to reunite with family members residing outside Greece.
Step 7
Greek Citizenship It can be obtained through birth in Greece, recognition by the father or adoption of a child by a Greek citizen, as well as by naturalization. This method can be used by foreigners who have legally lived in the country for 10 years, spouses of Greek citizens with children born in this marriage, legally residing in the country for at least 3 years, and Greek descent.
