Greek Fund Investments for Residence Require a Greek Bank Account

According to the source, a Greek bank account is a practical prerequisite for applicants using the fund-investment residence route, rather than merely an account for later servicing. This adds a separate step to relocation planning: the applicant must pass the bank’s compliance review before making the investment through the Greek account. The issue primarily affects investors whose source-of-funds checks or banking access may take time. It is worth considering before choosing the fund-based residence option or planning a rapid application.
