ΕλληνικάInstructions for issuing the extension certificate of residence permits for Third Country Nationals
Following the extension of validity which was given on 23.12.2020 to residence permits, residence permit application certificates (blue certificates) and international protection applicant cards (tri-fold cards), the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum now allows the electronic issuance of a document, which will certify the extension of residence permits and blue certificates.
You can use the extension certificate to facilitate your transactions with public services, banks and other private entities. In these cases, along with the expired residence permit or the blue certificate, you will now be able to show the Extension Certificate. This certificate is printed from the following platform of the ministry: https://migration.gov.gr/ilektronika-i-vevaiosi-paratasis-ischyos-adeion-diamonis/
*After printing the certificate it is good to always have it with you with the expired residence permit or the blue certificate so as to be secured in any case.
