1. How long does it take to get Greek citizenship?
The process of applying for and obtaining your Greek citizenship by descent is unique to each case. However, the average time is currently 2–3 years.
2. Why should I work with a Greek citizenship lawyer abroad instead of doing it myself?
If you apply without legal assistance, any mistake—such as a wrong date of birth or missing document—can lead to rejection and years of delay.
Our team includes top Greek citizenship lawyers in the USA and abroad, ensuring every legal detail is accurate. We keep up with all legislative changes and collaborate with official authorities in Greece.
3. Who is eligible for Greek citizenship by descent?
You may qualify if your parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent was born in Greece. You will then be eligible to claim Greek dual citizenship and enjoy full EU rights.

4. Do I need to speak Greek to apply for Greek citizenship by birth application abroad?
No, you do not need to speak Greek when applying through descent (birth). Language requirements apply only to naturalization cases.
