Greek Citizenship Visa

Greek citizenship through naturalization requires 7 years of continuous legal residence (reduced to 3 years if married to Greek citizen with a child). Applicants must pass a citizenship exam (introduced 2021) testing Greek language proficiency (B1 level), history, constitution, traditions, and political system. Exam held twice yearly, €250 fee. Processing takes 2+ years due to registration, exam wait times, and background checks. Greece allows dual citizenship. Citizens of Greek origin may have accelerated pathways.
