Frequently Asked Questions

World Visa Academy's Greece FIP Visa Training Course covers eligibility, financial independence, income and asset assessment, documentation, accommodation, health insurance, family applications, consular procedures and residence-permit requirements. The course is designed to help immigration professionals build a structured workflow for assessing financially independent applicants and preparing Greece FIP cases according to current residence requirements.

The FIP residence route is intended for eligible non-EU nationals who can demonstrate sufficient financial resources to support themselves in Greece without relying on employment or independent professional activity there. Consultants should assess the applicant's financial resources, income sources, family circumstances, accommodation and supporting documentation before determining whether the route is appropriate.

Applications commonly require a valid passport, evidence of sufficient financial resources, accommodation documentation, health-insurance evidence, criminal-record documentation and relevant civil-status records. Depending on the applicant and consular jurisdiction, additional financial or personal documents may be requested. Foreign documents may require apostille or legalisation and appropriate Greek translation.

The applicant prepares the required national visa documentation and submits the application through the competent Greek consular authority. Following the applicable visa process, the applicant enters Greece and completes the required residence-permit procedure. Immigration authorities assess the applicant's financial independence and supporting evidence, and additional documentation may be requested during the process.

The course is suitable for immigration consultants, retirement-migration advisers, relocation professionals, visa filing teams, wealth advisers and professionals assisting financially independent clients seeking residence in Greece. World Visa Academy provides structured training in financial assessment, documentation, accommodation, family applications, consular procedures and residence-permit requirements.
