Relocation to Greece from the UK

Likely no difference - be prepared for a lot of hassle and get expert local help form someone you can trust - a good lawyer - notary - solicitor - import agent - financial expert are all needed if you want to cover most things (tax ID-  residency - health insurance etc…I am a Brit that moved to Greece under a green card and speak the language so if I can help in any way just ping me - and good luck - all the hassles will be worth it as it’s a brilliant country to retire to :-)

Thank you very much! 😊

Agree that whether US or UK passport, the process will be the same. After the sale of your home will you be in a financial position to be able to become a resident under the Golden Visa program? The minimum purchase was €250K and still remains so at the present time. However the Greek government voted to increase the minimum purchase to €500K last September but as yet have not ratified the decision as far as I am aware - please do correct me if I’m wrong on this point!

You will need to appoint a Greek lawyer and you will need to find a Greek speaking notary in the UK who can translate documents for the house purchase.
