H1: Legal Consequences and Solutions for Missing Military Service in Greece
If you are a Greek-American who failed to report for military service in Greece, you’re not alone. Many dual citizens face challenges related to Greek military obligations without understanding the potential legal consequences or available solutions. At E CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC, we help Greek citizens living in the U.S. navigate these legal complexities and resolve military draft-related issues.
H2: What Happens If You Miss Military Service in Greece?
Under Greek law, failing to report for mandatory military service is considered draft evasion (λιποταξία ή ανυποταξία). This can lead to:
• Criminal charges
• Fines or imprisonment
• Restrictions on entering or exiting Greece
• Problems with property or inheritance rights
These consequences can severely impact your personal and professional life, especially if you plan to travel to or conduct business in Greece.
H2: Legal Options for Resolving Draft Evasion from Abroad
Fortunately, Greek law provides several legal remedies for individuals who missed their military service, especially those living abroad. Our firm offers legal assistance in the following areas:
H3: Requesting Military Service Deferment or Exemption
You may be eligible for postponement or permanent exemption due to:
•Long-term residence abroad
•Family or financial hardship
•Health-related reasons
We assist with gathering the necessary documents, translating them, and filing requests directly with the Greek military authorities.
H3: Legal Settlement of Draft Evasion Charges
You may resolve pending charges by:
•Paying an administrative fine instead of serving time
• Applying for rehabilitation through legal means
•Negotiating with Greek authorities for favorable resolutions
We can represent you remotely without the need for you to travel to Greece.
H3: Appealing Military Court Decisions
If you’ve been convicted in absentia, we can challenge the verdict, file appeals, and pursue options for clearing your criminal record under Greek law.
