Your Path to Retiring in Greece with the FIP Visa
Say goodbye to the grind and hello to Greece’s sun-soaked coastlines. The Financially Independent Person (FIP) Visa, often called the Greece Retirement Visa, is a residency permit for non-EU citizens who can support themselves without working in Greece. It offers a seamless path to retirement in one of Europe’s most desirable destinations.
With this visa, you’ll enjoy visa-free Schengen travel, no work restrictions, and eligibility for permanent residency. Spouses and dependent children can also be included, making it an ideal choice for those looking to retire with family.
To qualify, applicants must prove sufficient financial means, have valid health insurance, and meet basic residency requirements. Our legal experts handle the entire process, ensuring a smooth transition so you can focus on enjoying your new home.
