Our mission
We help clients unlock a world of opportunity by creating personalised immigration strategies that remove visa barriers, provide legal pathways to tax optimisation, and offer long-term security across international borders.
Our core expertise is in securing residence permits — but our work doesn’t end there. We remain a trusted partner for years to come, assisting with renewals, family planning, relocations, and new investment journeys across the globe.
Elena Ruda,
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Our clients are forward-thinking individuals and families — entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and public figures — who value freedom, privacy, and resilience.
We empower them to move beyond borders and restrictions, giving them a legal right to live, invest, and thrive where they choose — not where they’re obliged to stay. A second home, a stronger future, and peace of mind — that’s what we deliver.
Our values
Every client relationship is built on experience, clarity, and trust. These principles define the way we work, the advice we give, and the level of support our clients can expect throughout their Greek residence-by-investment journey.

Property Tax in Greece for Foreigners: Rates and Online Payments
Property owners in Greece pay the annual ENFIA tax. For buildings, the basic rate ranges from €2 to 16.20 per square metre, depending mainly on the tax zone and property characteristics. The same rules apply to residents and non-residents, so foreign owners do not pay a separate property tax rate. This guide covers property taxes in Greece, including transfer tax rates, online payments and residence options for foreign property buyers.
