Greek FIP Residence Permit
A Smart Pathway to European Living — No Property Purchase Required

If you don’t have the budget for property investment in Greece, the Financially Independent Person (FIP) Residence Permit is a perfect alternative to obtain long-term residency in Europe.
This program is designed for individuals who can prove sufficient financial means to live in Greece without the need to work or start a business there.
💡 What is the FIP Residence Permit?
The FIP (Financially Independent Person) Residence Permit — established under Law 5038/2023 — allows non-EU citizens to legally reside in Greece if they have stable income or savings to support their living expenses.
It’s a long-term residence type that gives you and your family the freedom to live in Greece and travel freely within the Schengen Zone.

📋Eligibility Requirements
  • To qualify for the FIP residence permit, applicants must meet the following criteria:
    • Minimum monthly income of €3,500 for the main applicant
    • Additional +20% for a spouse and +15% for each dependent child
    • Valid health insurance coverage in Greece
    • Proof of accommodation (property ownership or rental agreement)
    • Clean criminal record and valid passport
  • 🌍 Key Benefits of the FIP Program
    • Legal residency in one of Europe’s most beautiful countries 🇬🇷
    • Free travel within the Schengen Area
    • Lower financial threshold compared to the Golden Visa program
    • Residency rights for spouse and dependent children

⚖️ Important Notes
  • • The permit does not include work rights inside Greece.

    • If you stay in Greece for over 183 days per year, you may become a Greek
    tax resident.
