What are the stay options?

Digital Nomad Visa and residence permit

The programme FAQ describes a visa of up to one year for qualifying non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss remote workers, followed by a renewable residence permit of up to two years.

The route described here is background information, not confirmation that an individual applicant qualifies. Check the official requirements for your circumstances.

Stay-route details & sources

Source-check date recorded in the country data: 2026-09-17.

  • The FAQ lists EUR 3,500 monthly resources after taxes for a single applicant. Accompanying family members increase the required amount.
  • The described work must be for organisations outside Greece, not a Greek employer or local freelance engagement.

When does the US session fall locally?

Usually 16:30–23:00 local time; 15:30–22:00 during the illustrated Europe/US clock-change gaps.

Calculated examples use New York’s regular cash-session reference and the listed time zone. Local clocks change on different dates. Holidays, early closes and the broader futures schedule are not represented.

This reference describes the main US cash-market session, not the complete futures trading schedule.

What this guide covers

A researched starting point, not a final rating.

Additional starter guides with source-backed stay and workspace notes. These are not final destination rankings or individual eligibility decisions.

Remote-work routes are not automatically available to someone whose income comes only from personal investing or prop-firm rewards. The reviewed requirements concern qualifying work, contracts or businesses. Individual eligibility must be established separately.

Only the information in this starter guide was checked on . This does not refresh older guides or confirm any applicant’s eligibility.

Healthcare & insurance

Do not confuse visitor care with full insurance.

The FAQ directs visitors outside the European arrangements towards private health coverage and distinguishes longer stays from short travel-insurance cover.

Work From Greece: programme FAQ ↗

Stay route, financial means, insurance and bank-account requirement. Its simplified tax statements are not used.

Checked 2026-09-17.

Eligibility, exclusions and continuity of cover need individual checks; this page does not assess a hospital or recommend an insurance product.

Planning note
Banking & payments

A Greek account is not a visa prerequisite.

The programme FAQ says a local bank account is not obligatory for the digital-nomad visa. That does not decide whether a bank will accept a particular customer.

Workspace example

Impact Hub Athens.

The operator offers coworking memberships and day-use options. The reviewed membership listing does not establish that every product includes late-evening access.

Impact Hub Athens: memberships ↗

Operator lists coworking membership options; no guaranteed evening access or measured uptime.

Checked 2026-09-17.

Ask about exact access hours and a quiet workspace rather than assuming a day pass covers the whole evening.

Planning note
Taxes & longer stays

Use the tax authority’s rules, not a nomad shortcut.

The tax authority includes home, habitual residence and personal/economic ties. Presence exceeding 183 days in any twelve-month period can also establish residence, subject to statutory exceptions.

The programme FAQ uses simplified 180-day wording. This guide does not reproduce that as the legal tax test or promise a tax-free short stay.

Before choosing a base

Questions that remain personal or property-specific.

The questions below are editorial planning prompts, not requirements attributed to a government or tested property advice.

  • Does the employment or service arrangement fit the foreign-work route?
  • What health cover remains valid for the entire stay?
  • Are evening access and the chosen desk included in the workspace agreement?

No provider-by-country clearance is published for these new guides. Rules about nationality, residence, visits and account stages require separate provider-specific evidence.
