Step by step instructions on how to use the e-appointment platform for residence permits

The Ministry of Migration and Asylum has launched an electronic platform (e-appointment) since June 19, 2020, where third-country nationals can book an appointment to get or renew their residence permit from the Immigration Service. However, due to the difficulties that have arisen with the booking of appointments because of the availability of the application only in Greek, we inform you about the exact steps you need to follow in order to register on the platform and book your appointment.
