New start-up investor residence permit

The new provisions enable citizens from non-EU countries to obtain a special residence permit by investing in Greek start-up companies.

Starting 1 January 2025, individuals who invest a minimum of EUR 250,000 in a start-up listed in the National Startup Registry will be eligible for this permit. The investment can be made through the acquisition of shares during a capital increase or bonds upon issue of a bond loan.
