Good evening i was wondering what the required income is for a residency visa. - @ltoby955

For a Greek residency visa as a Financially Independent Person (FIP) (no work in Greece), you need a minimum passive monthly income of 鈧�3,500, plus 20% for a spouse and 15% for each child, with proof from pensions, investments, or rental income, not salaries. Other visas exist, like the Digital Nomad visa (same 鈧�3,500/month, income from abroad) or investment routes (Golden Visa), but the FIP route requires stable, passive income for self-sufficiency.

But your profile says you are Portuguese, so as you are from an EU country, you do not need a visa to live in another EU country.

Hi and thank you.聽 I am a Portuguese permanent visa holder but non EU citizen, I have lived in Portugal for 10 years.

Hi 鈥� thanks for clarifying, that helps 馃憤

In this case, what really matters isn鈥檛 how long you鈥檝e lived in Portugal, but your citizenship. A Portuguese permanent residence card doesn鈥檛 carry EU free-movement rights, so Greece will still treat you as a non-EU national for residency purposes.

That usually means you鈥檙e looking at one of the standard routes (most commonly the Financially Independent Person visa, or possibly Digital Nomad if your income qualifies and is from abroad). The income figures mentioned above are broadly correct, but the exact interpretation and evidence required can vary slightly.

The safest next step is to speak directly with the Aliens & Immigration Department (螖喂蔚蠉胃蠀谓蟽畏 螒位位慰未伪蟺蠋谓) in the region where you plan to live in Greece, or with a Greek immigration lawyer. They can confirm:

聽 聽 鈥⒙� 聽 which permit applies to your nationality,

聽 聽 鈥⒙� 聽 the current income threshold,

聽 聽 鈥⒙� 聽 and exactly what proof they鈥檒l accept.

Greek bureaucracy is very location-specific, so getting confirmation from the office that would actually process your application is time well spent.

Hope that helps, and best of luck with the move.
