How to Get a Greek Tax Number (AFM) from the U.S.
Are you a Greek citizen living in the United States and need a Greek Tax Identification Number (AFM)? Whether you plan to inherit property, buy real estate, open a bank account in Greece, or submit tax forms (like E9), an AFM is a critical requirement.
At E CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC, we help Greek Americans obtain their Greek AFM remotely with full legal support, directly from the U.S., without needing to travel to Greece.
What Is the AFM (Greek Tax Number) and Why You Need It
The AFM (Αριθμός Φορολογικού Μητρώου) is a unique tax identification number issued by the Greek tax authorities. It is essential for:
•Registering property in Greece (for inheritance or purchase)
•Submitting E9 and other tax declarations
•Opening or accessing Greek bank accounts
•Filing tax returns (even if you live abroad)
•Signing contracts or legal documents in Greece
Without an AFM, it’s impossible to legally own or manage assets in Greece.
