Who can apply for the FIP Visa Greece?
Non- EU citizens having adequate resources at a level of steady annual income for the coverage of their living expenses may apply for a 3- year residence permit. Such individuals may be accompanied by members of their families to whom a personal residence permit is granted.
Eligibility Requirements- Sufficient Income
The condition for sufficient income must exist either for each member of the family or jointly for all members. The minimum income requirement is set at 3.500 Euros per month. This is increased by 20%, if the spouse is included in the application, and 15% for each child included in the application. The amount is proved by a pension decision, bank account statements or any other documentary proof that the applicant has own sufficient income of legal origin to cover the expenses without being employed or exercise an independent economic activity in Greece.
