Hi, a bit confused now... For buying a (new) car in Greece, do you need a residence permit if you are already a EU-national? Planning to buy one as soon as we have moved, and don't want to wait until we have obtained the residence permit. We do ...
Hi Zoe64, yes you can drive the car anywhere, as long as you have the right insurances. Read More
Schooling in Greece by Tori_K
Hi Everyone :) My husband and I are considering a move to Greece with our two daughter whom are 4yrs and 1yr old. I was hoping to get some advice on schooling for my 4 year old. We are from Australia where our 4 year old attends Preschool. Can ...

You are wrong there. You can indeed buy a car, but you have to register the car to be able to drive it. And for this registration, you will need a residence card. Read More
