Greek Legal Questions

No. The relevant citizenship history, relationship chain and legal route must be established. Some cases require registration; others require a different procedure.

Not by itself. Civil birth registration and municipal registration as a Greek citizen are different records.

There is no single answer for all ancestry-related procedures. The identified route determines its residence, attendance and documentary conditions.

A passport application is separate. First confirm citizenship and the required Greek registration and identity records.

Financially Independent Person. It is not an abbreviation for a five-year permit.

Article 163(8) of Law 5038/2023 specifies three years and equivalent renewals subject to eligibility. Check the current rules and the dates on your own decision and card.

Do not assume so. FIP is not a work permission; active remote work requires assessment under the digital nomad or another appropriate route.

No. Lawful stay while an application is pending and permission to cross borders are separate questions that depend on the document and route.

That is not the general AADE rule cited here. AADE describes nine months or one year depending on the circumstances, with different starting events including will publication for testamentary heirs.

No. The main commencement rule refers to deaths on or after 16 September 2026, and Article 33 sets out transitional exceptions.

Do not assume so. Disposal and management can affect liability, creditor rights and title. Obtain advice under the regime applicable to the estate.

Representation may be possible with the correct authority, but the scope and formalities depend on the act. Renunciation requires particular care and special authority.

The statutory higher-threshold regional rule covers Attica, not just central Athens. Special conversion or listed-building routes must be assessed separately.

No. The cited 120 sq m principal-space condition applies to the standard regional routes for built property or property with a building permit, not indiscriminately to all special routes.

The current standard property routes described here require one property. Do not assume several purchases can be added together; historical and special cases need separate review.

No. Greek residence and short visits to other Schengen states are different from permission to reside or work in another country.

Often parts of a purchase can be represented, but the wording, signing authority, legalisation and acceptance by the receiving professionals must be checked.

No. Deposit and reservation terms should be reviewed before payment, including the consequences of failed title or technical checks.

No. The required registration and post-completion checks are separate parts of the transaction.

No. Location, value, property type, use and other route-specific conditions must be established.

That can create avoidable risk. Check the lawful entry and application route before moving or committing to a long lease.

No. A tax number does not itself create immigration or employment rights.

No. Property ownership, investor residence and citizenship are different legal matters.

No. Some work can be delegated, but consular appointments, biometrics or other personal steps may still be required.

FIP is a resources-based route, not a property-investment programme. Housing evidence and the rest of the application still need to satisfy the applicable requirements.

The monthly benchmark is not a one-off account-balance test or an approval guarantee. The authority assesses lawful, available resources and the appropriate evidence for the period concerned.

The FIP provision does not grant employment or independent economic activity rights in Greece to the holder or accompanying family members. A suitable alternative route must be assessed for planned work.

No. A lawyer can assist with authorised steps, but consular appearances, biometrics and other personal requirements must be checked.

The firm provides a case-specific scope and fee before further work. Public charges, insurance, translations and other third-party costs are separate unless expressly included.
