New Greek Law ( L.4825/2021) to attract Digital Nomads and Investors
Visas for Digital Νomads in Greece.
With the new Law 4825/2021, Greece finally joined the list of other European countries offering national visas to Digital Nomads.
These visas or work permits allow digital nomads to work remotely from Greece for a specific time. In particular, the new law provides for the granting of a National Visa (VISA TYPE-D with a duration of stay in the Greek territory of up to twelve months) to third country citizens (self-employed/freelance professionals or employees), who work remotely using digital technology and means that substitute their physical presence at the workplace, with employers or customers outside Greece, who undertake that they will not in any way provide work or services or work to an employer with a registered office or branch in Greece.

1. Long Stay (D Visa) application form fully completed in English or Greek and signed by the applicant.
