Important legal considerations

• Investment thresholds and eligible categories are set by Greek legislation and have changed more than once; they are confirmed in writing at the point of advice rather than published here as fixed figures.
• A residence permit is not citizenship, and it carries its own conditions and renewal requirements.
• Tax residence follows separate rules from immigration status.
