How can I open a bank account in Greece remotely for my Golden Visa application?

You can open an account in HSBC Greece if you are already a client of HSBC abroad. To obtain a Greek tax ID, you should authorize a lawyer with a power of attorney to do it on behalf of you, since you are not in Greece.

As far as the source of the funds you could use an account at a bank in your home country but for the rest of the steps of the application you have to find someone to represent you in Greece.

According to a new voted legal amendment on the terms and conditions for remote electronic identification of individual persons, when entering into a business relationship with credit institutions and financial organizations supervised by the Bank of Greece, it is feasible to open a bank account in Greece remotely. Of course, the implementation involves bureaucratic processes and takes time. In the meantime, the investor's application procedure is proceeded through a specific Power of Attorney addressed to a Greek consultant or lawyer. It can be signed abroad, either in a Greek consulate or in front of a local notary and be apostilled. The PoA gives your attorney the right to apply for a Greek Tax Identification Number and open a Greek bank account on your behalf. The proposed process through HSBC could also work, but the Bank does not issue a Greek Tax Identification Number.
