Timeline

After retaining MICS and paying its initial professional fee, the first step is to choose the investment type and sign the property reservation agreement and pay the 10% deposit of the property in real estate acquisition type. The applicant can choose the property in person or via a video call. 

For the online acquisition the applicant needs to sign the power of attorney (POA) in the Greek embassy in his country of residence. MICS will provide required documents to complete this procedure at the pertinent Greek embassy.

Greek immigration facilitates the procedure by simple documentation list. The only required documents are the civil documents. The applicant must pay the property funds remaining balance in full within a maximum of 6 weeks to have the application ready for submission.

The MICS processing team can prepare the application after having civil documents and the receipt of property payment. At this stage, MICS’ second professional fee will be due.

The permanent residence application results in blue paper issuance within 24 hours. The client needs to travel to Greece for in-person biometric data and fingerprints collection.

The clients and family members can enter Greece and stay in the country as long as they wish, with the blue paper, regardless of the country of the origin if they need the Greek temporary visitor visa or not.

Once the PR cards are issued, they can be collected in the MICS head office, or they can be delivered to the applicants by registered mail. This is when the payment of MICS professional fee balance will be due.
