Alternative 7% taxation for the retirees

Hello fellow expats.

I'm interested in moving to Greece and in the 7% taxation program.

Does anybody know if I can be considered an eligible retiree  if I come to Greece on Golden Visa and live of savings and passive income ( interest, dividends, capital gain), but do not receive Social Security yet?

It is confusing, because some sources on the internet say I need to prove my retiree stratus with a document from a government entity like Social Security, and only actual pension is eligible.

Other sources say any passive income is eligible.

Thank you.

Hi, I myself retired to Greece 1 1/2 years ago and confirm that, indeed, you do actually need pension (social security) income.
