2 · The problem
Half of what you read about moving to Greece is out of date.
Since 6 February 2026 a first digital nomad application starts with a national visa from a Greek consulate before travel; the in-country route was repealed. (Law 5275/2026, art. 13 (Government Gazette A' 17, 6 Feb 2026).) Many guides still describe applying from inside Greece, and they disagree on fees and income figures.
Income for the independent-means (FIP) permit
€2,000 a month in one place, €3,500 a month in another.
Where a first digital nomad application starts
"apply in Greece" in one place, at a Greek consulate, before travel in another.
