If you were born abroad and have a Greek ancestor who was born and is registered in Greece, you can claim Greek citizenship and obtain a Greek passport , either through the process of determination of Greek citizenship by descent or by declaration , either through the process of naturalisation, depending on the elements of your specific case. Both processes involve actions through the Greek Embassy/ Consulate of your area, and actions through the competent authorities in Greece. They typically involve navigating complex citizenship laws, genealogical research, and documentation preparation. Usually, the first step for beginning the procedure to obtain a Greek passport is to locate the registration of one of the person’s ancestors in the Greek Municipal Records. Afterwards, various documents will have to be collected proving the relation of the Greek ancestor to the applicant, in order to begin the process.

We specialise in assisting foreign citizens with Greek ancestors to obtain their Greek citizenship. We provide services throughout the whole procedure, during the necessary stages through the Greek Embassy/ Consulate and during the necessary stages through the competent decentralised authority and municipality in Greece.

It is a step by step procedure and requires various documents and actions depending on the specific case’s details.
