The natural person who wishes to be subject to the above alternative tax regime, must cumulatively meet the following criteria:

a. not be a tax resident of Greece for the previous five (5) of the six (6) years prior to the transfer of the tax residence to Greece.

b. to transfer his tax residence from a state with which an agreement on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation with Greece is in force.
