Do you know that Greece is an attractive destination for wealthy people & for elder people?

According to Art. 20 of the Law on Immigration and Social Integration (4251/2014) (former Article 24 of Law 3386/2005) citizens of third countries and members of their families wishing to retire in Greece or otherwise live in Greece without working, can apply for a Greek residence permit based on independent income or funds from outside the country via retirement benefits or a pension, property rents, savings or grants.

This type of residency permit is issued for a period of 2 years and can then be extended, on the condition that the holder of the residency permit maintains his/her income.
