Official healthcare routes
Understand the official pathways to healthcare in Greece before you need them.
Request it from the public health insurer in the country where you are insured before travelling or moving. Greece cannot issue another country’s EHIC or S1.
Apply through the competent issuer, usually a KEP or e-EFKA point. The route depends on nationality, residence and insurance status.
For protection applicants, PAAYPA is issued with the applicant card by the Asylum Service. Use Gov.gr to find the number and follow the conversion process if protection is granted.
Document requirements vary by status and can change. This is a preparation checklist, not a replacement for instructions from KEP, e-EFKA, the Asylum Service or your insurer.
