If you are a foreign pensioner and move your main residence to Greece for the next 15 years, you get attractive tax advantages: You only have to pay 7% tax on all your income from abroad, be it pensions or other income. This is particularly worthwhile for foreign retirees who receive a high pension and also have rental income or generate investment income. Taxation takes place in accordance with the respective double taxation treaties between Greece and the country of origin.
The prerequisite is that the pensioner spends at least 183 days a year in Greece after moving and was not liable for tax in Greece for five of the previous six years. The application deadline for each calendar year is March 31.
