No, personal presence is not required in most cases.

There are several ways to apply for a Greek tax number (AFM):

1. Application via power of attorney (recommended)
With a corresponding power of attorney, I can handle the entire process for you. The power of attorney must be issued and notarized at a Greek consulate. I will provide you with a ready-made template, including a German translation, which you can use directly at the consulate.

2. Identification via video call
Alternatively, I can prepare the application entirely. You will then receive an appointment with the relevant tax office in Greece, where you will identify yourself personally via video call.

3. In person on-site in Greece
Another option is for you to come to Greece for a short time. We will create a power of attorney together on-site, and I will then take care of the entire online processing.

Depending on your situation, we will choose the easiest and fastest solution for you together.
