It seems
Greece has gone official with the
digital nomad visa.
Law 4825/2021, Article 11.
Summary as I see it for non-EU citizens:
- Digital Nomad Visa application fee is €75 per applicant
- Proof of remote work outside Greece via company or own company incorporated outside Greece
- Minimum €3500 income proof after overseas taxes. Plus 20% for spouse and 15% for a child under 18. So family of 4. = 3500 + 700 + 525 + 525 = 5250.
- The maximum duration is 12 months.
After this, you can apply for the Digital Nomad residence permit which allows you to stay an additional 24 months.
- Costs €1000 per application, this includes family members
- Can be renewed for another 2 years
Tax benefits
Greece has a 50%
tax reduction on all sorts of taxes including a cut in dividend taxes from 10% to 5% for people moving to Greece, be it EU citizens (Including Greeks returning) as well as Digital Nomad Visa holders. Requirements:
- Not have been a Greek tax resident for the last 6 years
- You have to move in 2021 - my guess is that with the recent introduction of the DN visa this will be extended
- Tax reduction is for a maximum of 7 years
Would love to hear from in the knows as this is based upon a few articles I have read.
