Relocation is a sequence, and getting the order wrong costs months. Built backwards from moving day — the titer test, the apostilles, the consulate — so starting today tells you your earliest landing.

After you land — Greece's clock starts
- Residence permit filing (biometrics)
Students face a hard 40-day deadline; other permits are issued in Greece after the consulate visa
- AFM tax number + bank account
The gateway pair — nothing moves without the AFM
- EFKA or private health insurance
ESY needs contributions; non-working residents are effectively on private insurance
- Driving: book the full Greek test
No conversion agreement with Türkiye — theory + practical exams required
