Relocation to Greece

Regulated visa and investment routes: EU citizens do not need a visa.

Special tax regimes and exemptions for new residents: Greece offers exceptional incentives to encourage immigration, including a 50% income tax exemption for up to seven years for employees and self-employed people relocating to Greece, a fixed 7% tax for foreign pensioners, and a €100,000 flat global Lump-Sum tax for capital investors.

Affordable living costs and Mediterranean quality of life: Greece's price levels are significantly lower than Israel's and Western Europe's.

A varied, accessible property market for renting and buying: housing ranges from modern apartments in Athens' southern suburbs, the Athenian Riviera, and northern suburbs to country homes and island holiday apartments.

Leading international schools alongside public education: Athens and its suburbs have recognised English-language schools following IB, British and American curricula, including ACS and St.

Public healthcare and high-quality private medicine: the public ESY system is available to official residents, but most of the international community chooses local or international private health insurance.

Cultural familiarity, warmth and a growing Israeli community: the welcoming Greek mentality, familiar climate and proximity to Israel ease arrival.

A popular centre for remote work, shipping, tourism and entrepreneurship: the Greek economy is undergoing modernisation and digitalisation, attracting international technology companies and R&D centres.
