Spouses & children
Most Greek residence routes allow the spouse and dependent children of the main applicant to be included or to join through family provisions.
Family Reunification
Keeping families together is central to Greek residence policy — with routes that bring spouses, children and, in some cases, parents alongside the main permit holder.
Key Takeaways
- Greek residence frameworks provide family inclusion for spouses and children.
- Certain routes extend coverage to parents of the main applicant.
- Scope differs by permit type — the Golden Visa can cover eligible family members, including parents, subject to conditions.
- Documentation and dependency requirements are confirmed per family.
Residence that fits the whole family
A move to Greece rarely involves one person. Greek residence frameworks recognise this: several permit types allow family members to be included under the main holder’s residence — with scope and conditions that vary by route. We map your family structure against the available options so no one is left behind.
What families typically ask
Parents
Under certain routes — the Golden Visa is the clearest example — parents of the main applicant (and in some cases of the spouse) can also be covered.
Golden Visa family scopeEducation & healthcare
Children gain access to Greek and international schooling options, and the family registers for public healthcare — we guide both.
Independence of status
Depending on the route, family members’ permits are linked to the main holder’s — with defined conditions for renewal and, over time, independent status.
