Moving from Switzerland to Greece is a big adventure - and careful preparation is the key to success. This guide will accompany you step by step.

The KEP Citizens' Office is a state-funded, free service for all citizens in Greece. It helps with completing administrative procedures and is an invaluable aid, especially for immigrants.

The EMEP (Εθνικό Μητρώο Επικοινωνίας) is the national communications register of Greece. Registration is necessary for all residents and significantly facilitates access to government services.

Anyone who lives in Greece for more than three months must register with the local immigration police. This registration certificate is the official basis for your legal residence and is required for many other administrative procedures.

Swiss citizens are obliged to register with the Swiss Embassy in Athens after deregistering in Switzerland. Registration is simple and can be initiated by email.
