An honest guide to:📍Greece

The sunshine is real.
The lifestyle is real.
The bureaucracy is real too.

We've broken down some of the biggest pros and cons of living in Greece in 2026... from cost of living and healthcare to housing and visas.

Have you lived in Greece? What would you add to the list?

Think your move to Mexico will take a few weeks? Think months.

Recent updates mean immigration processing timelines are becoming more predictable across Mexico.

Key timings include:
- Work permits: 20 business days
- Renewals: 15 business days
- Change of status: 20 business days
- Some family-based cases: up to 4–6 months

The takeaway?
Don't leave it until the last minute.

Many founders focus on building the business. Far fewer focus on building the case for ENISA.

But before Spain's Entrepreneur Visa application can move forward, ENISA needs to see more than a good idea.

Your business plan should clearly demonstrate:

- innovation
- scalability
- market opportunity
- commercial viability
- founder expertise

One misconception we hear often? That an ENISA decision can be appealed.

In reality, there is no formal appeal process. If an application is refused, the usual route is to strengthen the case and submit again, potentially adding months to your timeline.

7 cities.
7 Open House events.
Countless conversations about life, work, business and building a future abroad.

Barcelona was our final stop – fitting, considering it's where Lexidy's journey began.

From familiar faces to new connections, every event reminded us why we started these gatherings in the first place.

Shoutout to our amazing team of organizers for helping us make these events happen. And a huge thank you to everyone who joined us along the way. Whether you came with questions, plans, ideas, or simply stopped by to say hello, you helped make this year's series something special.

Until next time!
