AFM for digital nomads working remotely from Greece
Digital nomads choosing Greece as their base need a Greek tax identification number (AFM) to open a bank account, sign a rental agreement, or activate a local mobile number. Without an AFM, everyday tasks like receiving payments from clients or setting up utilities become unnecessarily complicated. Many nomads discover this requirement only after arriving. ELLYTIC provides the complete identity setup — AFM registration, Greek mobile activation, and certified document translations — so digital nomads can start working from Greece without bureaucratic delays.
Why digital nomads need an AFM in Greece
- opening a Greek bank account to receive freelance payments
- signing a rental agreement for long-term accommodation
- activating a local Greek mobile number for banking verification
- registering with Greek tax authorities for income compliance
- setting up utility contracts for coworking or apartment rentals
What the Starter Bundle includes
- AFM registration handled remotely via power of attorney
- Greek mobile number activation for banking and 2FA
- certified translations of passport and other identity documents
How ELLYTIC supports digital nomads
- fully remote process — no visit to a Greek tax office required
