Does time on the Greece Digital Nomad permit count toward permanent residence?

Greece allows long-term EU resident status after five years of lawful, continuous residence, and time spent legally in the country as a digital nomad generally counts. There are rules on how much time you can spend outside Greece without breaking continuity.

Long-term status is not automatic. At the five-year point you must still show sufficient stable income, full health insurance, and evidence of integration such as Greek language and cultural knowledge. Confirm the current criteria before relying on this pathway.
