\nThe final contract is registered with the competent Cadastral Office. The registration certificates are issued and the investment process is complete.<\/p>\n
\nOnce the contract is signed, the lawyer submits the application for the investor and their family members.<\/p>\n
\nA temporary document (white paper) is issued, allowing multiple entries into Greece until the residence card is issued.<\/p>\n
\nThe investor and their family travel to Greece for fingerprinting within 12 months of submission.<\/p>\n
