Greek residency

Now there's a thought or if acceptable a short term berthing contract. Will the boat ever show up ❓ ? The berthing tactic has already been successfully used.(y)

But one thing to be borne in mind, the authorities will use the address you gave to contact you in the future.

Case in point, sometime in the future all Brit EU residents are going to have to get a biometric residency permit and the authorities will contact you at your given address to call you forward to make the change (finger prints & official photo).

Mindful of this, ever helpful, our marina hopes to forward this notification if the vessel is no longer in the marina.

Just behave, your group does not have sole rights to anything on this forum. Just because I ask WHY and then gave what I thought was a credible reason to your thread this has been turned by yourself and others to be an issue . . . get a life you poor sensitive souls.

I think over complicating issues is not a necessary at this point as no one has the facts, all we have available is buff temporary residency card and I think is is a worthwhile acquirement. This allows you to stay past the 90 days and you can even own a Greek car/scooter if you wish.
The Greek government a while ago stated in parliament that there will no change in circumstances of UK residents in Greece after the transition period and trying to second guess future is misleading.
Yes we know they are going to be biometric cards and yes there most definitely will be a charge and why shouldn't there be?
You quote
"They could want to see tax returns, proof of money being transferred into Greek banks, utility bills, tenancy agreements, etc, etc."
Surely all this is to be expected and in part is in now, I do believe you have to now show any bank statement in credit to even get the buff card.
€60 p.a. pays for an accountant to do your tax return, unless you have earn't in Greece there will be zero tax to pay.
If you are living here one must expect to fill the legal criteria's, the UK is a perfect example of massive laxity in this control.
Don't panic, let's just see what happens

I don't believe I'm over complicating it, I'm just being clear on what everyone is calling 'residency' actually is. Clearly everyone who wants to remain in Greece must register and as of now there is nothing else they need to do. BUT, it's quite wrong to imagine that this document equates to permanent residency because it doesn't.

I have no idea what your on about or what you on , in post 5 you suggest people don't need help well sorry to say some do .
In post 7 you then go on that this thread is unnecessary and confusing to run against the one one , this post is about Greece and if anyone needed help someone who could help them , it's nothing to do with the other post .
In post 19 you then have a go at bob and accuse him of Trolling and then you wonder why I ask what your problem is .
I have a life and a very good one thank you .

Vic Sorry, if I am complicating/confusing your thread by mentioning Portugal. It just highlights that when it comes to residency, different EU states have very different rules and requirements.

Think you and I agree, overall, provided you can renounce residency, getting EU residency anywhere is probably better than no residency at all. If you can get it in your host country, so much the better.

There no confusing it's fine , not sure why grumpgit decide to cause a rut over the posting ,
As we very well know not everyone find it straight forward to deal with stuff and I personally know what Greece can be like went dealing with officials, no two are the same ,
This thread was supposed to help anyone who looking for a little help in Greece it. Turned out to be slanging match which is a shame .
Several people use this lady ,I understand her fee is pin money and not run into hundreds , she may just have the answers to problems cruisers may come across . She also willing to help with other translation so I understand ,
I know after all the complications with paying the tax some people had and some still having she maybe help fullinthat way too .
Grumpgit goes on about groups , there no groups here just thread to help each other out , it isn't a completion who can get the most posting .

Take no notice of him Vic.
On the Corid 19 thread he kept posting documents.
I took paragraphs of his posting out of his posts and re posted them. He kicked off saying I had an agender and started arguing against his own posts.
The new cronin?
 
@nortada there no doubt that if one can get residency in a EU country is best to do so and the soon the better , but as I posted before for some it not a option , if I did it it would cause me a lot of problem back in the UK and it would cost me more then it's worth.
I can for see for some summer cruisers wont need it,as they tend to come back in the hottest months so they can fit they 90/180 days in easy , other like myself who Been around for some time will find a way around it and others will or have already got their residency.
Then off course there the option of jumping from EU countryside to non EU

Whatever !
However ,you do seem to think your opinion is always the best one.
It was nice on here when you lost your boat.

Why would you suggest that I think my opinion the best one, we all put opinions on here and people draw from it and make their own mind. Your facts are incorrect, I never lost my boat, that is a reflection of your own boat handling.
How can someone so aged be so immature with playground remarks.

Still in the playground Bob. It's a free forum of choice and you are free to do what you must but with stating claptrap such as . . . .

"I took paragraphs of his posting out of his posts and re posted them. He kicked off saying I had an agender and started arguing against his own posts" well post them if you went to all the trouble but if you do be very sure they are in context.

At last I do not have to converse with this bitter Welshman.

Tony, what other option is out there, share what card do you have? This has come from Residence Certificate Residence Permit in Greece
Brexit Update for UK Citizens Living in Greece "The current rules are that all UK nationals RESIDENT in Greece should apply for a registration
certificate whatever their status.
There is plenty of good information on the web that is easily found so this paraphrasing should not be needed.
It is/was a registration card in the big scheme of things. I believe 5 x years of this allows (allowed) you the blue card?
No one on here knows what is going to happen in the future but when a publication gives advice wouldn't you agree it should be heeded by whatever means necessary?
 
I understand that Greece as a dual taxation treaty with the U.K.

In Greece is registration to be in Greece for more than 90 days issued by the same agency as residency, the right to reside indefinitely❓

Does anyone really know. On the chance of getting scolded for being opinionated. By the present ruling, I will say yes to your first, most definitely for the second and the third would be a great result.
Remember if you are feeling flush there is always "Golden Card"a €250k property and your in on permanent residency.

Didn’t ask a third❓ But interested to hear that Greece also operates the Golden Card/ Visa deal. Any tax breaks with it❓
