How the representative pathway works
For those living outside Greece, the AFM is requested via a φορολογικός εκπρόσωπος — a tax representative registered against your file at the DOY. We either fill that role ourselves or appoint a trusted one, then drive the application from start to finish.
Typical triggers for an overseas applicant
- Acquiring a home, plot or commercial unit in Greece
- Entering the Golden Visa investment route
- Setting up a bank or brokerage account
- Receiving an inheritance of Greek assets
In Greece
Sorting the afm while living overseas in Greece means dealing with Your competent DOY (Greek tax office) and its limited appointments. We monitor the system daily and handle the paperwork for residents from Patras and Athens.
Frequently asked questions
No. Non-residents register under the tax representative's details, so your foreign address is perfectly acceptable.
Once the power of attorney and documents reach us, the filing usually completes within a couple of business days.
