What Business Structures Do Foreigners Choose in Greece?

Greece continues to attract foreign entrepreneurs not only through investment programmes, but also through the opportunity to operate a business within the European Union.
⠀
In practice, many foreign investors and entrepreneurs in Greece choose one of the following company structures:
⠀
🔹 IKE (Private Capital Company)
One of the most commonly used structures for small and medium-sized businesses, often chosen for its flexibility, limited liability, and relatively simple corporate administration.
⠀
🔹 AE (Société Anonyme / S.A.)
Typically used for larger companies, investment structures, and businesses with long-term expansion plans.
⠀
🔹 Branches of Foreign Companies
Often chosen by international businesses seeking to operate in Greece without establishing a separate local corporate entity.
⠀
The choice of company structure depends on multiple factors, including taxation, ownership structure, business activity, liability, and long-term commercial objectives.
⠀
For this reason, legal and tax structuring is usually considered before incorporation — not after.
⠀
Korinna Sergiadou’s legal office provides comprehensive support for doing business in Greece, including company incorporation, tax registration, and ongoing corporate support.
⠀
We work in collaboration with experienced tax advisors to ensure comprehensive planning and protect our clients’ interests at every stage.

Relocating to Greece After Retirement
⠀
More and more foreigners are choosing Greece not only for holidays — but for long-term living by the sea after retirement.
⠀
A warm climate, Mediterranean lifestyle, slower pace of life, and access to Europe continue to attract retirees from around the world.
⠀
For many, Greece offers the opportunity to combine everyday comfort with long-term residence within the European Union.
⠀
Two of the most common relocation pathways for foreign retirees are:
⠀
🔹 The Greek Golden Visa programme through qualifying investments
🔹 Residence permits for financially independent individuals with stable foreign income or pensions
⠀
Depending on personal circumstances, citizenship, source of income, and long-term plans, different legal and tax structures may apply.
⠀
For this reason, proper legal planning is often an important part of the relocation process.

Power of Attorney: Buying Property in Greece Remotely
⠀
In Greece, property transactions can be completed remotely through a properly structured Power of Attorney.
⠀
This is a legal mechanism that allows your lawyer to represent you throughout the transaction.
⠀
With a valid Power of Attorney, your legal representative can:
⠀
🔹 Obtain your Greek tax number (AFM)
🔹 Conduct full legal due diligence
🔹 Sign preliminary agreements and the final notarial deed
🔹 Represent you before the notary and public authorities
🔹 Complete ownership registration and post-transaction filings
⠀
The document must be properly executed (notary or consular authority) and, where required, apostilled or certified.
⠀
When structured correctly, the transaction is carried out in full compliance with Greek law, with clear legal control at every stage.
⠀
Certain procedures, such as banking or identity verification, may require direct involvement depending on institutional policies.
⠀

⠀
Our legal group provides full legal support — including preparation and control of Power of Attorney for remote purchases.

What Makes Greece Attractive for Investors Today
⠀
Greece has repositioned itself as a stable investment environment within the European Union, combining economic recovery with sustained growth.
⠀
GDP growth is projected at around 2–2.4% in 2025–2026, outperforming several major European economies and supported by strong investment activity.
⠀
At the same time, Greece has regained investment-grade status and continues to attract increasing levels of foreign direct investment.
⠀
🔹 Access to the EU market and regulatory framework
🔹 Stable political environment and pro-investment policies
🔹 Ongoing economic growth driven by investment and consumption
🔹 Large-scale EU funding supporting infrastructure and development
🔹 Expanding sectors: real estate, tourism, energy, and technology
⠀
Greece is no longer seen as a recovery story — but as a strategic entry point into Southern Europe with long-term growth potential.
⠀
For experienced investors, this creates opportunities not only in real estate, but also in business, capital markets, and structured investments.
⠀
Structure your investment in Greece with confidence.

How to Keep Your Golden Visa Active in Greece
⠀
Maintaining a Golden Visa in Greece is a structured and predictable process, provided that the core requirements of the programme continue to be met.
⠀
The key condition for renewal is that the investment remains in place.
In the case of real estate, this means that the property must remain under the ownership of the investor. Where applicable, lease agreements must also remain valid.
⠀
To renew the residence permit, applicants are required to submit a set of documents, including:
⠀
– a valid passport or travel document
– a private health insurance policy covering medical expenses in Greece
– copies of travel documents for the relevant period
– payment of the applicable government fees
⠀
The residence permit is renewed once it is confirmed that all legal conditions continue to be satisfied.
⠀
Importantly, the process is based on the continuity of the investment, rather than any additional investment requirements.
⠀
In practice, maintaining Golden Visa status in Greece is primarily a matter of ensuring that the original investment structure remains compliant and properly documented over time.
⠀
Keep your Golden Visa status secure and fully compliant over time.

Double Taxation Treaties in Greece: how they work
⠀
When investing or doing business in Greece, income may be connected to more than one jurisdiction. Double Taxation Treaties (DTTs) are designed to regulate how such income is taxed.
⠀
Greece has entered into a wide network of tax treaties that define which country has the right to tax specific types of income, including business profits, dividends, interest, and royalties.
⠀
In practice, tax treaties operate through two main principles:
⠀
Allocation of taxing rights
The treaty determines whether income is taxed in the country of residence or in the country where the income arises, depending on the nature of the income and the structure involved.
⠀
Relief from double taxation
If taxation occurs in both jurisdictions, relief is typically provided either through exemption or through a tax credit mechanism in the country of residence.
⠀
Under Greek tax rules, certain payments — such as dividends, interest, and royalties — may be subject to withholding tax. However, applicable tax treaties may reduce these rates or provide specific conditions for relief.
⠀
Importantly, treaty benefits are not applied automatically. To rely on a tax treaty, it is necessary to demonstrate tax residency and meet the relevant legal requirements.
⠀
Korinna Sergiadou’s legal group, in collaboration with financial analysts and tax advisors, provides comprehensive support in structuring cross-border investments, including the application of double taxation treaties and non-dom status in Greece.

Bring your entire family to the EU with a single investment — Golden Visa in Greece
⠀
Unlike many other European programmes, the Greek Golden Visa allows investors to include not only their spouse and children, but also the parents of both the main applicant and their spouse.
⠀
A single investment covers the entire family.
There is no requirement to reside in Greece.
⠀
Under the current framework, eligible family members include:
⠀
– spouse
– children under the age of 21
– parents of the main applicant
– parents of the spouse
⠀
Each family member receives an individual residence permit linked to the main investor’s status.
⠀
The Greek Golden Visa also allows for visa-free travel within the Schengen Area.
⠀
At the same time, the programme does not automatically grant the right to work in Greece.
⠀
This structure makes the Greek Golden Visa one of the few options in Europe that allows investors to secure EU residence status for the entire family through a single investment.
⠀
Calculate the optimal Golden Visa investment strategy for your situation.

Shareholder vs Management in a Greek Company
⠀
When establishing a company in Greece, it is important to distinguish between ownership and management. Under Greek corporate law, these are separate legal concepts.
⠀
A shareholder is the owner of the company. Shareholders contribute capital and hold shares representing their ownership in the business. They participate in key decisions through shareholders’ meetings, such as approving financial statements or appointing members of the management body.
⠀
The management and representation of the company are exercised by the competent management body or authorised representative, depending on the legal form of the company. In an AE (Société Anonyme), these powers are typically exercised by the board of directors or by persons to whom such authority has been delegated in accordance with the articles of association and applicable legislation.
⠀
Importantly, a shareholder does not automatically participate in the management of the company, and a person responsible for management does not necessarily have to be a shareholder.
⠀
Foreign investors may own shares in a Greek company without appointing a local shareholder. However, if a non-EU national intends to reside in Greece and participate in or represent the company locally, an appropriate lawful residence status may be required.
⠀
Understanding this distinction is essential when structuring a company and defining responsibilities within the business.
⠀
The Legal Group of Korinna Sergiadou provides a full range of business support services in Greece, including the drafting and registration of articles of association, tax registration, and comprehensive operational support throughout the country.
⠀
We collaborate with leading tax advisors to ensure integrated planning and safeguard your interests at every stage.

Rental Yield in Greece: What Property Investors Can Expect
⠀
Rental yield is one of the main indicators investors use to evaluate property performance. It represents the annual rental income relative to the purchase price of a property.
⠀
In Greece, the average gross rental yield for residential property is approximately 4.4%–4.8%.
⠀
However, returns vary depending on the location.
⠀
Athens
Gross rental yields generally range from 4% to 6%, particularly in central districts with strong tenant demand.
⠀
Emerging districts
Neighbourhoods with lower property prices but strong rental demand may reach 5.5%–7% gross yield, especially near metro lines or universities.
⠀
Several factors influence rental income:
⠀
– location
– access to public transport
– property condition
– long-term vs short-term rental strategy
⠀
Understanding realistic market returns is essential when evaluating real estate investments in Greece.
⠀
Our legal office has been assisting clients in property transactions and residency-by-investment programs in Greece for over a decade, providing full legal support for Golden Visa and real-estate investments.
⠀
