Renew your Greek residence permit in your language: required documents, how the renewal application works, biometrics and follow-up until the new card is issued.
“Kleidi” service fee
From €500
Every Greek residence permit, whether Golden Visa, financially independent person, digital nomad or work, has an expiry date, and the renewal must be filed before the card expires. A late renewal can cause problems with travel, work and banking.
To renew your residence permit, you must start the process three months before your permit expires.
“Kleidi”'s Persian- and English-speaking team in Athens checks your documents, files the renewal, arranges the biometrics appointment and follows the case until the new card is issued. You can follow every step in the “Kleidi” app with your tracking code.
Documents you will need
- Valid passport
- Current residence permit
- Biometric passport photo
- Valid health insurance
- Proof of address
Requirements can differ with your situation and current rules; a “Kleidi” expert confirms the final list after reviewing your case.

Frequently asked questions
When should I start the renewal?
Ideally, contact the “Kleidi” team three months before your residence permit expires, so your documents are checked and the renewal is filed on time.
Do I need to be in Greece?
You do not need to be in Greece to start or follow the renewal. Only for the biometrics step must everyone being renewed come to Athens in person for fingerprinting.
Are family members renewed with me?
Usually family members' permits are renewed together; a “Kleidi” expert checks each person's case.
