How do you renew a residence permit in Greece in 2026?

Many renewals run through the Ministry of Migration and Asylum OPS Metanasteusi services linked from applications.migration.gov.gr and the matching gov.gr service page. You select your category, pay the relevant e-paravolo fees, and upload PDFs such as passport bio pages, current title scans, proof of continued eligibility (work, family, income, insurance), and Greek address evidence: Register address.

Insurance capacity across the previous permit period is a frequent checklist item, often linked to EFKA or accepted private cover: Enrol in public healthcare and Get an AMKA. Keep your AFM details consistent with the immigration file.

Follow biometrics or desk instructions if the portal requests them, then track card issuance and collection: Get a residence card. If you are switching categories instead of renewing the same one, that is a different path: Change status of residence. EU citizens renewing free-movement registration use police procedures, not this TCN renewal flow: EU residence certificate.
