How to bring your car to Greece page 2 - Greece forum

Hello everybody, If you exported your car to Greece, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they? What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of the vehicle? Are there limits on emissions or emission controls in Greece? What are the expected costs of exporting a car? In your opinion, is it worth it? Once you arrived in Greece, what were the applicable taxes? What was the customs process like? How do you go about registering an imported car in Greece? Is it best to buy a car once you have arrived or to bring your car with you, in your opinion? We look forward to hearing from you! Bhavna

You need to find an import agent to deal with the complex Greek importation laws聽 / pls look online and have a few exploratory chats before parting wit you money - doing this on your own will be a disaster

@Chapacubra

Sorry - didn't see this question until now. We were not required to have anyone sign our paperwork. It seems like a very odd requirement. However, I think this would be a good question to ask a broker as they are aware of all the current requirements. We imported our car in 2021, so there may have been changes since then.

@The Grocer

I have a a question regarding visiting the embassy before you go to Greece from the UK

Why I have to go there and present them all this paperwork,

Before I go there which department should I book The appointment with?

I live in the UK more than 10 years I own the car 3 years on euro 4 petrol and I am Greek and I have a Greek passport And Greek Tax number(A桅螠)

Do I get exempted from some of the duty-import Tax if I visit the Greek Embassy in the UK?(to prove I own the car more than 6 months and live in the Uk more than 3 years

On my situation Do i still have visit the embassy ?

and any of you happen to know if I convert my car to LPG (GAS) HYBRID car will I get any discounts on Tax or exemptions?

Planning to Move to Greece this December
