Overview

Long-Term Resident Permit

The Long-Term Resident Permit grants indefinite status to third-country nationals who have lived legally in Greece for at least five years. It requires proof of financial stability, health insurance, and successful integration through language and culture exams. While the status is indefinite, the physical residence card must be renewed every five years.
