Who has to have one
Anyone taking up work in Greece, registering as self-employed, or expecting to draw on public healthcare needs an AMKA. Employers routinely request it before your first shift begins.
Getting it without the runaround
Because the AMKA and AFM are issued by different bodies, applicants frequently get bounced between offices. We handle both threads at once, so the two numbers land together rather than weeks apart.
In Greece
In Greece, the the amka number is handled through Your competent DOY (Greek tax office); our local team prepares your file and books the AFM appointment so it clears first time. We help clients from Athens to Crete.
Frequently asked questions
The two serve different purposes, but most newcomers need both, so we typically arrange them side by side to save you a second round of paperwork.
