01

Tell us your situation

A short conversation pins down whether you are resident, non-resident or registering a business — and from that we draw up the precise document list and complete your M1/M7 forms with no guesswork.

02

We take it to the tax office

Your file goes to the competent DOY, or through a tax representative if you are still overseas, and we get your Taxisnet / myAADE access set up at the same time.

03

Your AFM lands

Out comes your nine-digit AFM, ready for the bank, the lease, the job or the Golden Visa — without a single queue or a wasted trip across the country.

The essentials

What is the TIN — and why you need one in Greece

Moving to Greece, buying property or applying for the Golden Visa? The very first thing you need is an AFM — the Greek tax number (TIN). Without it you cannot open a bank account, sign a lease or receive a cent.

We do nothing but Greek tax and residence paperwork. We know which DOY is competent for you, how the tax-representative route works for non-residents, and how to get your AFM issued without the usual runaround.

Why TIN Greece

Local, fast and honest

AFM applications run through the local DOY (tax office) and, increasingly, online via myAADE / Taxisnet. Non-residents file through a tax representative — no trip required. We serve clients all over Greece, from Athens and Thessaloniki to Crete, Rhodes and the islands.

Works from anywhere

Whether you are already in Greece or still planning the move, we secure your AFM through a tax representative — distance is no obstacle.

Accepted first time

Every file is built to the DOY's own standard, so it clears without rejections, callbacks or repeat visits.

A price you know upfront

You see the full cost before we start. Nothing hidden, nothing added on later.

Greek handled, English explained

We argue your case with the tax system in Greek and report back to you in clear, jargon-free English.

What our clients say

TIN in Greece

How the TIN works in Greece

The AFM appointment, the paperwork, the tax office (DOY) — answered.

Fill in the M1/M7 forms, gather your passport and proof of address, and file at the competent DOY — or let a tax representative do it. We run the entire AFM process for you, Taxisnet / myAADE setup included.

Yes. Those living overseas obtain one through a Greek tax representative, with no travel involved — the standard route for property buyers and Golden Visa applicants needing their Greek TIN.

The DOY (ΔΟΥ) is your local branch of the revenue authority, AADE. Your AFM is anchored to one competent DOY, while Taxisnet / myAADE is the online portal handling filings and certificates.

Generally a passport or ID, proof of address, the M1/M7 forms, and a power of attorney if we file on your behalf. We confirm the precise list once we know your case.

The AFM is your tax number (the TIN); the AMKA is your social-security and healthcare number. A lot of newcomers need both, and we can arrange them in one go.

Yes — you cannot open a Greek bank account, sign a property deed, connect utilities or apply for the Golden Visa without one.
