Got the new DEKPA today in Preveza

[overstag]

So, today we got the new DEKPA form.
Was a kind of treasure hunt through Preveza.
First you need to go to the Port Police. They will give you the request form. Then you go to the Town Hall, KEP office. That is on the waterfront, next to the Greek National Bank. They will give you an electronic billing form. For this they need your passport and the first names of your father and mother.....
Then you take this form to the National Bank and pay your €50,-
You get a receipt and bring this together with the request form back to the Port Police. There they need the old DEKPA, your passports, registration papers, insurance form and your Captains License.
They fill out the new form, still manually, and you're done! ?

Why did you need one was your old Dekpa full?

 

[overstag]

JonJon, there's a new DEKPA this year.
Everybody is required to get a new one.

FFS another bureaucratic waste of everybody's time. You'd think the idle bastards would have at least sorted out the payment system so you didn't have to trudge up and down the waterfront with their own internal paperwork and pay 50 euros for the privilege. Jesus H

Well, that's a point of view. On the other hand, it has been suggested that payments made to certain PP offices went into the Xmas dinner fund. This method avoids that and is quite common in many European countries.

The Levkas one sounds like a better bet with the bank downstairs. There always seems to be hassle with the Preveza, one a lot more walking involved. When I got my first DEKPA the guy sent me all over the town (tax office etc) and then up the shops to get a photocopy of everything. Quite frankly I don't care what they do with the money as long as they stamp what needs stamping - keeping tabs on where the money goes is not my business its theirs As for the Corfu one well... have they got ant forms yet I wonder?.

Lets us know how you get on . Apart from the 50euro they are not asking for the "tax" YET!

 

[sailaboutvic]

I have to admin Prezeva isn't been my favour place for stamp ,
last time I was here I spend over 20 mins agueing that my insurance 500.000 GB pound pli was worth more then 500.000 euro . The guy kept insisting it had to be in Euros ,
And only when a capt officer came out and a few words in Greek , did the guy in the end stamp my DEKPA .
Report back once it sorted .

 

[overstag]

Won't be long before 500k euros is more then 500k £...

Reminiscent of getting a permis de sejour in Belgium in the '80s. Never achieved in one visit!

Town Hall, ask for form - interrogation about speaking Flemish and the need to learn it.
Eventually a form is provided and I fill in form, hang about in line.

Generally the queue is something unknown in the Belgian psyche. So you find yourself being bumped or ignored whilst the employees skulk behind a counter, flirt with each other, greet colleagues arriving for work, leaving for lunch or commiserate with any colleague who has worked two days in a row, check their lottery results online or leave for a back room where they can hide properly

Eventually get to the head of queue with passports, letter of recommendation from your previous town [ an amazing concept for your English town hall], letter of employment from your employer and something else. The something else is at the whim of the official you are dealing with and can change without notice or explanation.
Now you need the fiscal stamps! What fiscal stamps? From the Post Office on the square.

Head to the Post Office, ah!, but its closed for lunch. Come back after 1400 and eventually get the fiscal stamp that you need.

Right, back to the Town Hall. But it's closed - the department involved in the charade of issuing permis only works between 11:00 and 12:30 on odd days of the week.

Oh and hand in your UK driving licence and we'll send you a Belgian one in a couple of weeks - in Belgian officialese that can mean just before the end of time, but not much.
Oh and guess what? You'll need fiscal stamps, but different ones....

Engaged a Belgian colleague with this story and sought his advice. His response was that it served me right for wanting to live in the country as he walked away with a parting shot of ' wait until you try and register your wife's UK car'

 

[JonJon]

I wonder if the Preveza PP trained in Belgium then. Although you can be lucky best tip i had was to go in the evening the staff seemed less officious, its cooler to stand in the queue. Disadvantage of course is everywhere else you have to go is shut (or on strike).

As overstag said in his OP ,
only difference in my case ,
I had to pay an extra 15e as we sailed from Malta .
If I had an old DEKPA I may have got away with it .

Ended up doing it in Preveza , luckily I got one of the three strips women to do it for me .
There was one bit of funny part to it all , when she asked me for my skipper licence , I give her my driving licence for a joke , she just photo copy it , given it back and said nothing .you just have to love the Greek PP .
