The Greek government has announced plans to introduce a new digital nomad visa program, aiming to attract remote workers to the country. The initiative, first reported by the New York Times on July 14, seeks to boost the Greek economy and address a declining population in some regions.
Under the proposed program, non-EU citizens who can work remotely for companies outside of Greece would be eligible for a one-year visa, with the possibility of renewal. According to a July 17 New York Times report, applicants would need to demonstrate a minimum income and health insurance coverage. The government is reportedly considering tax incentives for participants, as noted by the New York Times on July 20.
The move follows similar programs launched by other European countries, as highlighted by ekathimerini.com on July 18, which have seen varying degrees of success. Details regarding the application process and specific income requirements are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, according to a July 20 New York Times article.
