Residency

Greece — Residency: Citizenship

Greek citizenship can be acquired through naturalisation by eligible foreign nationals who satisfy the residence, integration, and nationality requirements established under Greek law. Applicants are generally expected to demonstrate continuous lawful residence, sufficient integration into Greek society, good character, and, where required, knowledge of the Greek language. Citizenship may also be acquired through descent, birth, or other legal pathways provided under Greek nationality legislation. Successful applicants receive the rights and responsibilities associated with Greek and European Union citizenship.
