Visa and permit finder

Answer the first two questions and we will show which routes fit, which do not, and why. We will also tell you if none of them fit well.

Choose by what you will do in Greece

Work remotely for a foreign employer or clients — Digital Nomad
Live on a pension, investments or savings, and not work — FIP
Take a job with a Greek employer — work permit, or the EU Blue Card if the salary is high enough
Study — student permit
Join family — family reunification
Buy property and get residence — Golden Visa
You are an EU, EEA or Swiss national — none of the above

Compare every route in one table.

How this works

The finder applies each route's published conditions from our dataset to your answers. Nationality is a hard gate in both directions: a third-country route is closed to EU nationals and vice versa. Purpose selects the routes designed for what you intend to do. Where a route publishes an income threshold, your figure is tested against it with the route's own uplift percentages for a partner and for each child. Blocking conditions are reported individually rather than collapsed into a score, so you can see exactly which condition closes a route.

What it does not do

It cannot assess document formalities, criminal record checks or consulate practice, which is where real applications most often fail.
It covers the eight routes in our dataset. Less common routes exist and are not included.
Where a route is marked unverified, its conditions are drawn from sources we have not confirmed.
It applies the Digital Nomad family uplifts without compounding, so a consulate may want more than it shows.
It is orientation, not an eligibility decision, and it is not evidence of anything.

This is an estimate for orientation only. It is not immigration advice, and it cannot tell you whether an application will succeed. Confirm anything that matters with a Greek immigration lawyer or the Ministry of Migration and Asylum.

Questions people actually ask

Does a result here mean I will be approved?

No. It means the published conditions are consistent with what you typed. Real applications also turn on document formalities, criminal record checks, consulate practice and facts about you that four questions cannot capture. Treat the output as a shortlist of pages worth reading properly.

Why does it tell me routes do not fit instead of just recommending one?

Because knowing why a route is closed is more useful than a recommendation you cannot act on. Sites that only show you the best match leave you to discover the blocking condition after you have spent money. We would rather show you the wall now.

What if nothing fits?

The tool says so plainly rather than recommending the least-bad option. That is a real answer. It usually means one input needs to change — the kind of work, the source of the income, or the amount — or that you need a route we do not cover. A Greek immigration lawyer is the right next step.

How does it handle family income?

Where a route publishes an income threshold, the tool applies the route’s own uplift percentages for a spouse and for each child. For the Digital Nomad route, sources disagree on whether those uplifts compound, so treat the figure as the lower bound of what a consulate may want.

I am an EU citizen. Why does it show me almost nothing?

Because you need almost nothing. Free movement means no visa and no residence permit. What you do still need is the paperwork — an AFM tax number and an AMKA social security number — without which you cannot rent, be paid or see a doctor.

Does anything I type get sent anywhere?

No. The whole calculation runs in your browser. We do not store your answers and they are not put in the page address either.
