Living in Greece
Going to live abroad is a major decision and you should research your choice carefully before making any firm commitments.
To help you decide whether Greece is the right place for you, the Consular Section has compiled the following pages, which we hope answer many of your questions.
The information is for your guidance. The British Embassy has tried to ensure accuracy but cannot be held responsible for any errors. The appropriate Greek authorities should be approached for authoritative detailed information.
Those contemplating long term residence, particularly those planning to retire in Greece and/or purchase property are particularly urged to seek advice from as many sources as possible before entering into any commitment.
