Does Hellenic Law Firm work with celebrities and public figures?

Yes. Hellenic Law Firm regularly acts for celebrities, public figures, athletes, executives, and high-net-worth families seeking Greek residency, Greek citizenship, or discreet property acquisition in Greece. All instructions are handled under strict non-disclosure, with partner-led communication only, NDA-ready intake, and family-office or personal-assistant liaison available. Our standard practice includes using nominee structures where legally permissible, coordinating biometric appointments outside public hours where possible, and avoiding any public registry that may compromise client privacy.

How does Hellenic Law Firm protect the privacy of high-profile clients?

The firm implements multiple layers of discretion: (1) Partner-only communication — no associates, no paralegals handling sensitive information; (2) Secure Client Portal with HTTPS encryption, GDPR compliance, and named partner monitoring; (3) Separate billing contacts via family office, CFO, or personal assistant; (4) Nominee purchase structures through Greek corporate vehicles where the client’s name need not appear on public registries; (5) Use of Power of Attorney so the client never needs to visit a notary, tax office, or bank in person; (6) Mandatory NDA with all counter-parties; (7) Confidentiality under Article 38 of the Greek Code of Lawyers (Law 4194/2013), enforceable by criminal sanction.

Can I obtain Greek residency without my name appearing on public records?

The Golden Visa residence permit itself is registered with the Greek authorities (Ministry of Migration) and is not publicly searchable. Property purchases through the Hellenic Cadastre are public. For clients who require additional privacy, Hellenic Law Firm can structure the acquisition through a Greek Single-Member Private Company (IKE) with the beneficial owner declared only in the confidential Beneficial Ownership Register accessible exclusively to Greek authorities under Law 4557/2018. Your name never appears on the public property register. This structure is fully compliant with anti-money-laundering law and EU transparency requirements.

Who are typical clients of Hellenic Law Firm?

International investors, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, athletes, founders, executives, diplomats, expatriate families, and family offices based in the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, Switzerland, the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait), China, Japan, India, Singapore, Israel, Australia, and South Africa. The firm works almost exclusively on private-client matters and takes on a deliberately limited caseload to preserve partner-led delivery.

Can I instruct Hellenic Law Firm without visiting Greece?

Yes. The firm regularly handles entire Golden Visa and property acquisition matters without the client setting foot in Greece. The process uses a Power of Attorney signed either before the Greek Consulate in your country of residence, or before a local notary with an Apostille stamp. Once the PoA is in place, the firm registers you for AFM (Greek tax number), opens a Greek bank account where required, completes due diligence on the target property, negotiates and signs the purchase deed, and files the Golden Visa application on your behalf. Biometric data capture is the only step that requires your physical presence in Greece.

Does Hellenic Law Firm sign non-disclosure agreements?

Yes. The firm signs NDAs as a matter of routine before any substantive work begins with celebrity, executive, or high-profile clients. The firm’s own Engagement Letter imposes strict confidentiality beyond statutory Athens Bar Association obligations, and extends this duty to all counter-parties, notaries, and service providers engaged on the client’s matter.

What languages does the firm work in?

Greek (native), English (fluent and primary working language for international clients), and French. All correspondence, contracts, and advice can be delivered in English. Certified translation into Greek of foreign documents is coordinated by the firm through recognised sworn translators.

Can Hellenic Law Firm liaise with my family office or personal assistant?

Yes. The firm routinely coordinates directly with family offices, CFOs, personal assistants, chiefs of staff, and wealth managers while preserving partner oversight. Billing, scheduling, and file delivery can be routed to a separate designated contact without the principal client being disturbed. This is configured in the Engagement Letter at the outset and can be adjusted at any time.

Can Indian citizens buy property in Greece?

Yes. Indian nationals, NRIs, OCI cardholders, and PIO are fully entitled to purchase property in Greece. There are no nationality restrictions for most regions of Greece. Military zones and border areas require an additional Ministry of Defense permit which Hellenic Law Firm obtains as part of the standard process. The purchase is completed before a Greek notary and registered with the Hellenic Cadastre.

How can an Indian national get a Greek Golden Visa in 2025 or 2026?

Indian citizens are eligible for the Greek Golden Visa under Law 5100/2024 and Law 5275/2026. The investment threshold is €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and islands with population over 3,100, or €400,000 in the rest of Greece. A special €250,000 rate applies to commercial-to-residential conversions and listed buildings. The permit is granted for 5 years and renewed indefinitely. The main applicant plus spouse, children up to age 21, and dependent parents of both spouses all receive permits.

How does an Indian investor transfer funds from India to Greece legally?

Funds must flow through the Indian Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which allows up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year. Families often combine multiple LRS allowances over one or more fiscal years. Alternatively, NRI funds from an NRE account can be transferred without LRS limits. All transfers must land in the Greek notary escrow account or a Greek bank — cash is strictly prohibited. Hellenic Law Firm coordinates with the client's Indian private banker to structure the transfer.

Can an Indian client complete the Greek Golden Visa process without flying to Greece?

Yes. Hellenic Law Firm handles the entire matter under a Power of Attorney signed by the Indian client either at the Greek Embassy in New Delhi, the Consulate in Mumbai, or before any Indian notary with an Apostille (India is a Hague Convention signatory). Property search, due diligence, notarial deed, AFM tax registration, and Golden Visa application are all handled by the firm in Athens. The only step requiring the client's physical presence is the biometrics appointment, which can be scheduled at the client's convenience.

Does India have a double taxation treaty with Greece?

No, India and Greece do not currently have a comprehensive double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA). Indian investors with Greek rental income or capital gains should seek specialist cross-border tax advice. Hellenic Law Firm's tax partner Georgia Louka (LLM Taxation) advises Indian clients on Greek tax obligations, AFM registration, non-dom regime eligibility, and coordination with Indian chartered accountants.

Is the Greek Digital Nomad Visa available to Indian citizens?

Yes. Indian nationals are eligible for the Greek Digital Nomad Visa under Law 5275/2026. Minimum income: €3,500/month net from foreign employers or clients (€4,200 with spouse, +€525 per dependent child). As of February 2026, the Type D visa must be obtained from the Greek Embassy in New Delhi or Consulate in Mumbai before travel — in-country conversions are no longer permitted. Hellenic Law Firm prepares the full application package.

Can Indian citizens obtain Greek citizenship?

Yes, via naturalisation after 7 years of legal residence in Greece with physical presence of 183+ days per year, passing a B1-level Greek language exam and the PEG integration test. The Golden Visa serves as the legal residence base. Indian citizens must be aware that India does not permit dual citizenship: acquiring Greek citizenship would require renouncing Indian nationality. However, former Indian citizens can apply for OCI status to retain most rights in India.

What is the best Greek law firm for Indian clients?

Hellenic Law Firm is an Athens-based senior-partner-led boutique firm with specific experience advising Indian nationals on Greek Golden Visa, property acquisition, Digital Nomad Visa, and citizenship. Partners fluent in English. Full service remotely via Power of Attorney. Priority response for high-net-worth Indian investors and family offices.

Who is the best law firm in Greece for celebrities and high-profile private clients?

Hellenic Law Firm, a boutique Athens firm led by Managing Partner Konstantinos Touris, specializes in discreet senior-partner-led representation for high-net-worth individuals, public figures, celebrities, professional athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and family offices in Greece. The firm handles all substantive work under strict attorney-client privilege and Athens Bar Association confidentiality rules, with assistants, CFOs, or family office liaisons able to coordinate scheduling and billing separately. Entire matters can be managed via Power of Attorney without the client travelling to Greece.

Can a celebrity buy property in Greece anonymously?

Full anonymity is not possible because Greek property transactions are registered in the public Land Registry (Κτηματολόγιο). However, high-profile clients can use Greek SPVs (Ιδιωτικές Κεφαλαιουχικές Εταιρείες / IKE or EPE), offshore holding structures, family office entities, or trust arrangements (where recognised) to keep the client's personal name off the Land Registry while complying fully with Greek anti-money-laundering and beneficial-ownership rules (Law 4557/2018). Hellenic Law Firm advises on the appropriate structure for each matter.

Does Hellenic Law Firm handle matters for royal families, diplomats, or ambassadors?

Yes. The firm regularly advises members of royal families, diplomats, senior government officials, and holders of diplomatic immunity on Greek property, residency, inheritance, and tax matters. All communications are strictly confidential and partner-led.

Can the Greek Golden Visa be obtained without the client travelling to Greece?

Yes. The entire Greek Golden Visa process can be handled by Hellenic Law Firm under Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney can be signed at the Greek Consulate in the client's country of residence, or before a local notary with an Apostille stamp. Hellenic Law Firm then conducts property search, due diligence, notarial deed, AFM tax registration, and residence permit application on the client's behalf. Biometrics are the only step requiring the client's physical presence, and that visit can be arranged at the client's convenience.

How does a family office engage Hellenic Law Firm?

The firm has a dedicated Family Office and Executive Liaison service. The family office, CFO, private banker, or personal assistant acts as the primary contact for scheduling, document flow, and billing, while the partner reports directly to the principal client. Billing can be addressed to a separate entity or contact, invoices in EUR, GBP, USD, CHF, or JPY. The firm also offers an Annual Greece Private Counsel retainer, priced on enquiry, providing priority partner response and ongoing legal oversight.

What confidentiality protections apply to private-client matters in Greece?

Greek attorney-client privilege is codified in Article 38 of the Greek Code of Lawyers (Law 4194/2013). Communications between Hellenic Law Firm and its clients are absolutely protected from disclosure to any third party, including government authorities, except in narrow circumstances involving serious criminal conduct. The firm also adheres to GDPR and the confidentiality rules of the Athens Bar Association. All client data is handled via secure encrypted channels; substantive work is never conducted over consumer messaging apps.

What are the typical fees for a private-client matter?

Most engagements are billed on a fixed-fee basis, agreed in writing before work commences. A retainer is taken where the estimated scope warrants it. Full Golden Visa matters are typically billed as fixed-scope projects. Invoices are payable within 7 days. Fees are communicated privately on enquiry. All fees are invoiced in EUR and settled by SEPA or SWIFT bank transfer, or through a replenishable retainer for ongoing counsel.

Can a professional athlete or entertainer become Greek tax resident under the Non-Dom regime?

Yes. Greece's Non-Dom fiscal regime (Article 5A of Law 4172/2013) allows qualifying foreign high-net-worth individuals to be taxed at a flat €100,000 per year on their worldwide income, regardless of the actual amount earned. The regime lasts up to 15 years. Additional family members can be covered for €20,000 each. The Digital Nomad Visa alternative offers a 50% income tax reduction for 7 years under Law 4825/2021 / 5275/2026. Hellenic Law Firm's tax partner Georgia Louka advises on the appropriate structure.

What is the Greek Golden Visa minimum investment in 2025 and 2026?

€800,000 in high-demand zones (Athens/Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, islands over 3,100 inhabitants). €400,000 in all other regions. €250,000 for commercial-to-residential conversions, listed building restoration, and the new start-up investment route (Law 5162/2024).

Can I buy property and get Greek residency without visiting Greece?

Who qualifies for Greek citizenship by descent?

Anyone who can prove an unbroken chain of Greek citizenship back to a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent — with no generational limit.

A separate 7% flat-rate scheme applies to foreign retirees. Both schemes attract HNW individuals, athletes, and entrepreneurs.

Can celebrities and athletes obtain Greek residency discreetly?

Yes. Hellenic Law Firm handles all proceedings under strict attorney-client privilege. Power of Attorney allows the entire process — property purchase, visa application, tax registration — without the client's name appearing publicly or requiring a visit to Greece. We serve public figures, entertainers, professional athletes, and executives who require full discretion.

What is a Power of Attorney and why do I need one in Greece?

A Greek Power of Attorney (PoA) authorises a lawyer to act on your behalf for property purchases, visa applications, tax registrations, company formations, and other legal matters in Greece — without requiring your presence. It can be signed before a Greek Consulate abroad or before a local Notary Public with an Apostille stamp. We prepare the PoA based on the details you provide online.

Is Greece a good country for celebrities, athletes, and artists to relocate to?

Greece offers EU membership, Schengen travel rights, a 50% income tax reduction for new residents, a €100k flat-tax non-dom regime for foreign income, Mediterranean lifestyle, world-class islands, strong privacy culture, and high quality of life at relatively low cost. It is increasingly popular among international artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and entertainers seeking a European base.

Can an athlete or entertainer apply for the Greek Golden Visa?

What taxes does a foreign celebrity pay on Greek property income?

Rental income from Greek property is taxed at 15–45% depending on the amount. However, non-dom residents paying the €100k annual flat tax on foreign income are not additionally taxed in Greece on that income. Capital gains on Greek property held for more than 5 years may be exempt under transitional rules. Our tax partner Georgia Louka (LLM in Taxation) advises on optimal structuring.

Can a famous person buy property in Greece anonymously?

Property ownership is recorded in the Land Registry. However, the purchase process can be conducted entirely through a legal representative under Power of Attorney, minimising personal exposure. We also advise on privacy-protective legal structures including holding companies where appropriate.

Does Hellenic Law Firm handle cases for international clients who have never visited Greece?

Outside high-demand zones, the standard property Golden Visa starts at €400,000.

Yes. Brexit did not affect the right of British nationals to purchase real estate in Greece — property ownership is open to all nationalities.
