Client Reviews
-
My grandmother was Greek, but I had never thought that this could give me the right to a European passport. I contacted the company after a consultation, and just 16 months later I was holding a Greek passport in my hands. The team did everything very efficiently: they found archival documents, arranged notarized translation, and communicated with the Greek migration authorities. I only had to sign the papers. It was truly comfortable immigration.
-
I knew I had grounds for obtaining a Greek passport, but I had no evidence in hand. I turned to the company for assistance. The specialists carried out archival research and found the lost records. That turned out to be enough. I am now a citizen of Greece and the EU. To anyone who has even the slightest grounds to participate in the Greek passport application procedure, I would advise not to delay the preparation and filing of documents.
-
I hesitated for a long time about whether it was worth starting, because it seemed very difficult and expensive. In the end, I decided to go through the interview and see what would happen. It turned out that I had good chances of obtaining citizenship. The cost of the service also suited me quite well. I worked with a personal manager who explained the nuances of the procedure to me in very simple terms. Many thanks to the company for its support and precise compliance with the contract.
-
The process of obtaining my Greek passport took about 18 months. During all this time, I was aware of every step — the manager was in touch and I received regular updates on the case. No interview was required. I obtained the passport without a single trip to Greece at the filing stage. I recommend this path to everyone who has grounds. Such a chance for immigration to the EU comes once in a lifetime.
-
I called the company without really expecting success, thinking that it would require a lot of time and effort. But Citipassport specialists suggested the right solution and helped prepare the dossier for the citizenship application correctly. I was barely involved in the process and calmly continued with my own affairs. I obtained a Greek passport within a year and a half. And this is a very good result compared with the standard procedure, where people wait 5 to 10 years for a citizenship certificate.

I contacted the company during a difficult period — I wanted to have a backup residence option for the safety of my family. It turned out that my great-grandmother was a Greek woman from Chișinău, and that was sufficient for filing. The specialists found the necessary documents in the archives, explained everything to me properly, and guided me through the entire procedure. I received the necessary consultations and was kept informed of everything happening with my dossier. My daughter and I now have Greek passports. We are happy that we can afford visa-free travel to countries we had always dreamed of visiting.

FAQ
The right to citizenship is governed by Greek law and has a number of grounds: by descent, after long-term residence in the country, as well as in special cases provided by law. Greece permits dual citizenship, so renunciation of the current passport is required only if this is mandated by the legislation of the applicant’s main country of residence.
The list of documents depends on the type of citizenship procedure. In general, an identity document, official certificates from public authorities, such as birth certificates and certificates of no criminal record, proof of lawful stay in Greece, where applicable, and documents substantiating the chosen path to citizenship are required. All documents issued outside Greece usually require legalization, apostille, and translation into Greek.
This depends on the legal basis. In some cases, permanent residence in Greece for the period established by law is required; in others, permanent residence is not a mandatory condition, and a significant part of the procedure may be carried out through an authorized representative.
The timeframes for review of the application vary depending on the legal basis, the workload of the public authorities, and the completeness of the submitted document package. In standard cases, the process generally takes from 12 months.
The need to undergo an interview depends on the specific legal basis, as well as on the decision of the competent authorities. In some cases, the interview is a mandatory stage that allows verification of the degree of integration and language proficiency; in others, it may not be scheduled or may be purely formal.
The procedure following refusal depends on the legal basis on which the application was submitted and the stage of review. In most cases, it is possible to file an appeal or a new application after the reasons for refusal have been remedied.
