Residence permits

Greek residence permits: categories, filings, and administrative appeals

End-to-end residence permit work—employment, study, financially independent persons, family reunification, and more—plus appeals against refusals and court protection when appropriate.

Categories of Greek residence permits

Greek law spans employment (dependent and independent), study, financially independent persons, family reunification, investment routes, special-purpose permits, and long-term resident status. The category drives evidence requirements, competent authority, and timelines.

Files and case management

We prepare complete bundles—including translations and legalisations where needed—handle online submissions where applicable, and monitor renewals and changes of purpose.

Refusals and appeals

When decisions are negative, we assess administrative remedies and, where appropriate, annulment and suspension before the administrative courts.

We support lawful stay in Greece from our Heraklion office, including clients across Crete and the mainland.

FAQ

What if my application is refused?

We review refusals for appeal routes and, where appropriate, court protection including suspension when urgent.

Do you handle applications across Greece?

Yes. We are Heraklion-based and routinely coordinate filings with authorities nationwide.
