Obtainig greek citizenship?

Question

my grandmother is greek ..can i therefore get greek citizenship?

Answer 1

3. How do I know if I am entitled to a Greek passport (Greek citizenship)?

One must have at least one ancestor who was born in Greece and therefore was Greek by birth.

4. How can I prove that one of my ancestors was/is Greek by birth?

The ancestor must be registered at the records of the Municipality (City Hall) of a town or village in Greece. Only certificates issued by Greek municipal authorities are accepted. Therefore, a certificate issued by another country stating that the ancestor in question was born in Greece is not enough for the Greek authorities.

5. What else do I need in order to become a Greek citizen?

Apart form the birth certificate (or municipal record) of the Greek ancestor, we need his/her marriage certificate, the birth certificate of their child, etc., until we reach the present applicant. All foreign documents must be officially translated in Greek.

6. Do I have to travel to Greece in order to submit the application?

Not necessarily. All the paperwork can be collected and submitted to the responsible Greek agency via a proxy, who will hold a specific power of attorney.
