Remote work in the post-COVID-19 era and working abroad are
gaining ground as more people seek a different lifestyle, escaping
to new destinations. With just a computer and remote work
capabilities, digital nomads are free to work and live in the
countries of their choice.
Greece offers everything a digital nomad needs to make their
dream a reality: sun, sea, affordable prices, high-quality
nutrition, numerous sports opportunities, excellent technological
infrastructure, and easy accessibility. The slower pace of life,
especially on the Greek islands and in rural areas, provides a
sense of relaxation and well-being.
Our country is already a popular destination for digital nomads
involved mainly in IT, software development, online marketing,
blogging, consulting services, and the arts.
While European citizens can already enjoy the above,
non-European self-employed individuals, freelancers, or employees
working remotely using Information and Communication Technologies
for employers or clients outside Greece can apply for a national
visa at the relevant consular authority for entry into our country
for up to twelve months. Their family (spouse/partner and children
under 18) can also accompany them.
Additionally, they must prove they have sufficient resources,
with a stable monthly income of at least 3,500 euros, increased by
20% for a spouse/partner and by 15% for each child.
After entering Greece, digital nomads can apply for a
corresponding two-year residence permit, which is renewable every
two years as long as the conditions are continuously met.
In summary, legislation for digital nomads is an attractive
option for non-European citizens wishing to change their lifestyle
and work culture while boosting the Greek economy. As it appears,
this provides Greece with the opportunity to play a significant
role among Europe’s leading destinations for digital
nomads.
