03The paperwork

The papers that wait for you in Greece

Three numbers open most doors: the AFM for tax, the AMKA for health, and the police certificate for your right to stay. Some of the first steps happen in person, and most forms are in Greek.

04How Hello Expat helps

Your Greek admin, in the right order

Hello Expat lists your steps in the order Greece expects them, each with its official source and the date it was checked. Moovy, your personal assistant, is an AI: it answers with the page it used, and drafts the emails you send yourself.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Get your AFM online

    Apply on myAADE, the tax authority's portal, then confirm who you are by video call or at a tax office. It costs nothing, and the official estimate is 30 minutes once your application is filed and your identity checked.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Register your residence after three months

    The first three months need only your ID card or passport. After that, go in person to the police for the certificate of registration of a Union citizen. The fee is a €0.50 stamp, and the certificate is handed over on the spot.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Activate your AMKA

    Go in person to an e-EFKA office or a KEP citizens' service centre, with proof that you live in Greece and a document showing your situation. It is free and takes 15 to 30 minutes at the counter. Then you register with a personal doctor.

AI assistant
Example conversation

You

I am Dutch and I have just moved to Athens. Can I get my AFM without queuing at a tax office?

Moovy

Yes, in most cases. You file the request online on myAADE, the tax authority's portal, and an officer checks your identity by video call, straight away or by appointment. You can also go to a tax office if you prefer. The AFM is free. Scan your ID card before you start: an incomplete file is a common reason for rejection. Documents such as a marriage certificate may need an apostille and a translation.

06What's inside

Everything your move needs, in one account.

  • Moovy, your AI adviser for 30 countries

    Ask in your language and Moovy answers in it, with the official source. On paid plans, it also searches official websites live.

    Encrypted

    A vault for your papers

    Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.

    When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.

  • Tell us once

    A short questionnaire after sign-up fills in My situation for you. Moovy uses it from your first message.
