EU citizens
EU citizens wishing to stay in Greece for more than three months are officially required to obtain a residence permit. In practice immigration no longer stamp EU passports on entry into Greece so they have no way of telling how long you have been in the country, however a residence permit is required in certain circumstances (such as registering a car) so it is worth obtaining one if you intend to live in Greece.
Application must be made in person at the Aliens Bureau in Athens (173 Alexandras Ave) or at the nearest police station in other locations.
Documents required:
- Copy of passport
- 4 photographs
- You may be asked to show a bankbook to prove you can support yourself
- If employed, a letter from your employer
Non- EU citizens
Passports of non EU Nationals must be valid for at least three months after the period of intended stay.
Non-EU citizens may enter and remain in Greece for up to 3 months.
