AFM for Minors in Greece

Yes — a minor can get an AFM in Greece, but the process is different from the adult route. Gov.gr states that the AFM request can be submitted by the legal representatives of natural persons, including minors, and AADE’s myAADElive FAQ says that minors cannot go through the process alone. Instead, the request for a minor is submitted exclusively online by the legal representative using their personal TAXISnet access codes. That is the first big difference parents need to understand. A minor does not simply book a video call like an adult applicant. AADE’s guidance says the minor route is handled through the parent, guardian, or other legal representative, and for minor children of tax residents abroad the application is filed through the “TIN & Authentication Key” application on myAADE. AADE also states that, as a rule, the written consent of both parents is required, except in cases such as the death of one parent or where a court decision or notarial deed defines custody. This is exactly why many families prefer not to improvise the process. At AFM Greece, this is precisely what we help with: understanding the correct route for the child, preparing the right file, and avoiding delays caused by missing parental consent, missing translations, or the wrong representative paperwork.
