How to open your own Greek bank account in the life of Greek immigrants

With the strong recovery of Greek economy, more and more people in China are aware of the investment advantages of Greece and have the idea of investing in Greece and moving to Athens. Whether applying for permanent residence or moving to Greece, it is essential to have a local bank account.

However, faced with a full screen of Greek, many applicants will feel headache. Let's take Eurobank as an example to systematically introduce the specific steps of opening Greek bank accounts and online banking.

Step 1: Prepare files

① Original passport+copy

② Original ID card/household registration book+copy+translation.

(3) Work certificate in Chinese and English (annual income should reflect the same amount of euros)

④ Family information form (mainly used to provide the names of the applicant's parents)

⑤ Tax number (when the applicant buys a house, he signs a POA with his lawyer in the lawyer's building, which will take effect one day later, and the lawyer can take the POA to the tax bureau to collect the tax number for the applicant).

Step 2: Deal with Greek business cards.

Before opening a bank account, the applicant also needs to apply for a Greek phone card and open a Greek mobile phone number for the verification of online banking activation. At the same time, the operator will also provide a certificate containing the applicant's name, passport number and mobile phone number for bank account opening.

Step 3: Tax number

The lawyer will submit the applicant's POA and tax number to the bank after applying for the tax number from the tax bureau on behalf of the applicant.

Step 4: Banking business

The applicant submits the account opening documents to the bank staff to open a bank account and online banking.

Step 5: Bank feedback

The bank will feed back three envelopes containing bank card, bank card password paper and online banking password paper to the applicant, and the Greek bank account and online banking have been successfully opened!
