Financially Independent Person (FIP) Residence Permit
Live in Greece Without Making an Investment
The Financially Independent Person (FIP) Residence Permit is designed for non-EU/EEA nationals who wish to reside in Greece and can demonstrate sufficient financial resources without undertaking employment or self-employment in Greece.
It may be particularly suitable for:
-
Retirees and pensioners
-
Individuals with investment income
-
Individuals receiving rental income
-
Persons with substantial financial resources
-
High-net-worth individuals
-
Families seeking to establish a European base
-
Individuals who do not wish to make a qualifying investment in Greece
Unlike the Golden Visa, the FIP route is not based on an investment in Greek real estate or another qualifying investment. Eligibility instead focuses on demonstrating sufficient and reliable financial means.
Depending on the applicant's circumstances, evidence may include pension income, investment income, rental income or other lawful recurring financial resources.
The financial assessment is an important part of the application, and the source, stability and availability of the funds should be carefully documented. We advise clients on eligibility, documentation, the application process and the legal limitations applicable to this residence category.
