Overview

Programme Overview

The Greece Business Residence Programme represents a premier, strategically positioned administrative pathway designed explicitly for non-EU/EEA self-employed consultants, freelance operators, and international corporate founders. Situated at a crucial commercial intersection linking Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece offers a sophisticated European base boasting a timeless Mediterranean lifestyle, modern digital infrastructure, and direct integration into the European single market. Administered federally by the Ministry of Migration and Asylum alongside regional decentralized administrations, this advanced remote-business track enables accomplished operators to legally anchor their residential presence in Greece while keeping their core trading entities entirely overseas. For clients of Burbridge Capital, the Greece Business Residence pathway delivers an uncompromised structural arbitrage: a rapid consular track combined with an extraordinary, legally codified 50% personal income tax reduction on all foreign-sourced business revenues.

Benefits

Key Advantages

Ⅰ
The Sovereign 50% Tax Overhaul
Under explicit state legislation, approved business operators who establish their fiscal tax base in Greece are granted a massive 50% reduction on standard progressive income tax rates for up to seven consecutive years.
Ⅱ
Zero Upfront Capital Deployment
Unlike traditional property investment tracks, this pathway is evaluated purely on paper-based contract viability, meaning you face completely zero real estate purchase or capital donation mandates.
Ⅲ
Streamlined Multi-Year Card Validity
Following the successful completion of your initial entry visa block, the state issues a formal biometric residence permit valid for a stable, continuous 2-year block, cleanly renewable for successive 2-year periods.
Ⅳ
Frictionless Schengen Mobility
Holding an active Greece residence card grants you and your family immediate, visa-free access to move across all 29 member nations of the European Schengen Zone for up to 90 days out of every 180-day cycle.
Ⅴ
Full Family Security
A single corporate application file seamlessly wraps around the principal operator, legal spouse or cohabitant, and dependent minor children under the age of 18.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How exactly does the 50% tax reduction operate for remote business operators?+
If you commit to residing in Greece for a minimum of two years, your personal income tax rates across all progressive tax bands face a flat 50% reduction for up to seven years. This means an entrepreneur drawing an annual executive salary can effectively slice their effective tax rate in half, providing significant structural savings.
What are the physical stay requirements to maintain the card and the tax benefit?+
To successfully maintain and renew your 2-year residence permit, you must physically reside within Greek territory for a minimum of six months per calendar year. Furthermore, to legally trigger and maintain the 50% income tax reduction framework, you must exceed 183 days of physical presence inside the country during the tax year.
Can I combine multiple freelance client contracts to hit the monthly threshold?+
Yes. The critical element evaluated by the state is the consistency and predictability of the aggregate net deposits hitting your bank logs over the preceding months.
