How can I work legally in Greece if I participate in the Golden Visa program through the new investment options?
I understand that I have no access to the job market in Greece if I obtain a Golden Visa through real estate investment. However, I learned that new investment options have been added to the program. If I invest 400,000 euros to a government bond and obtain a Golden Visa, can I work legally in Greece?

The legal provisions of the Greek Immigration Law 4251/2014 as amended is in force, regarding the accessibility of the investors in the employment market apply on both kinds of investments either through property acquisition(art 20) or investment activity/financial products(art 16). This kind of residence permit does not give the right to work legally in Greece up to now.
