Company setup

Domestic companies and IBCs are common in international structures.

IKE (Private Company), EPE (LLC), and AE (Joint Stock Company) are common structures. Greek tax residency triggers worldwide income reporting; the non-dom regime may apply to eligible high-net-worth relocators.

Nevis IBCs and LLCs are commonly used in international structures. Substance, beneficial ownership disclosure, and AML standards have tightened materially.

Banking

Banking is selective. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions through current partners.

Personal banking for residents is well established; corporate banking depends on activity. Bordercase coordinates introductions for non-standard structures.

Domestic and offshore banking options exist but have become more selective on KYC and source of funds. Bordercase coordinates banking pack preparation and partner introductions.

Family

CBI can include qualifying dependents.

Family reunification is supported on most routes. Schools (public, private, international, English-language) are available in major cities.

CBI applications can include qualifying dependants - spouse, children, and in some cases parents - under specific conditions.
