The most compliant and legal sequence of actions regarding the procedure of Golden Visa is the following: The investor enters in Greece with a valid entry visa type C, implements the formalities, like tax number issuance, opening bank account upon submission the requested personal and financial data, chooses the property/ies and signs a power of attorney to a lawyer to implement the whole procedure. Later, he has to visit Greece again to submit his biometrics data in front of the competent authorities. The most banks ask for the physical presence of the client is to open a bank account. Of course, all the above described steps could be implemented through power of attorney, signed in the Greek consulate of your country, except the submission of your Golden Visa application and under the condition that the bank will accept to open a bank account on your name via POA. My personal opinion is to ask your consultants/lawyers to contact the Greek embassy regarding the denial of your Schengen visa and discuss about the potential way of recovery of this issue, if possible.
