How can not knowing Greek affect my visa application?

Before I apply, I would like to verify whether language skills are required. I don’t speak Greek and want to know if I’ll need to pass a language test as part of the residency process.

    Knowing Greek is not a requirement for your residence-by-investment application. Exams in the Greek language are part of the citizenship application process, which can be submitted after 7 years from the acquisition of your Golden Visa, provided that all other conditions are also fulfilled.
