Income source, savings, nationality, EU status, intended use. Honest, plain-English questions — no immigration-speak.

02

Get your readiness verdict

Instant result — which visa you appear to meet the main requirements for, what thresholds you clear, and exactly where you fall short with a fix for each.

03

Your free verdict tells you if you appear to qualify. The full audit shows you exactly how to get there:

  • Exact document checklist — every form, statement & translation, in order
  • Income & savings structuring — how to legitimately meet the published thresholds

  • Optional specialist human review — real eyes on your case if you want them

Visas covered

The top routes. Plus every other path.

Most people land on the Digital Nomad Visa or the Golden Visa — but Wandrize covers all 7 tracked Greece routes, from EU free movement to investor residency and beyond. You never miss the one that fits.

DNV

Digital Nomad Visa

Law 5038/2023 (Greek Migration Code), Art. 68

  • 12-month Type D national visa (consular route), then a 2-year residence permit; renewable every 2 years while conditions are met
  • Income threshold: €3,500/month net — for non-EU remote workers earning income from employers or clients outside Greece
  • Dependent add-ons: approximately +20% for a spouse (~€700/mo), +15% per child (~€525/mo)
  • Private health insurance valid in Greece is mandatory; confirm your policy meets Greek consular requirements
  • Primary route: apply at a Greek consulate in your home country; in-country residence-permit application also possible after legal entry

Note on Article 5C: The 50% income-tax exemption under Art. 5C generally applies only to income earned within Greece — it typically does not cover the foreign-source income the DNV is built around. Confirm with a Greek tax advisor.
