How James Got His Greek Tax Number in 3 Days as a Digital Nomad
The Challenge
James, a 31-year-old software developer from the UK, decided to relocate to Athens for the lifestyle and lower cost of living. But he quickly hit a wall: he needed a Greek tax number (AFM) to open a bank account, sign a lease, and get a local SIM card. He spoke no Greek, had no idea how to book a KEP appointment, and the online guides were contradictory and outdated.
How Ellytic Helped
James used the Ellytic Starter Bundle. Ellytic provided pre-filled forms for the KEP office, booked his appointment, and guided him through the SIM activation process. The entire workflow was handled remotely with step-by-step instructions in English.
The Result
James received his AFM within 3 business days, activated his Greek SIM card the same week, and opened a bank account at Alpha Bank. He was fully set up in Athens without speaking a word of Greek.
“I expected weeks of bureaucracy. Ellytic made it feel like ordering something online.”
