Our Services
Healthcare Registration
Greece offers high-quality, affordable healthcare. As a tax resident, you can access the public system (EFKA) for a small monthly contribution. We register you and connect you with English-speaking healthcare providers.
What It Is
Understanding Healthcare Registration
Greece has a mixed public-private healthcare system. Public healthcare (EFKA) covers most medical needs with small co-payments. Private healthcare offers faster access and more English-speaking doctors. Most retirees use a combination of both.
Who Qualifies
Are You Eligible?
- Greek tax residents who contribute to EFKA
- EU citizens with EHIC/GHIC cards (temporary coverage)
- Retirees receiving pensions from EU countries (S1 form)
- Anyone willing to pay for private health insurance

FAQ
Common Questions
Is Greek healthcare good quality?
Yes. Greece has well-trained doctors and modern facilities, especially in Athens and Thessaloniki. Public hospitals can have longer wait times, which is why many expats supplement with private insurance.
How much does public healthcare cost?
As a tax resident contributing to EFKA, public healthcare is nearly free — small co-payments of €1-€5 per visit or prescription. Monthly EFKA contributions are typically €100-€200 depending on income.
Do I need private health insurance?
It's recommended. Private insurance (€1,500-€3,000/year) gives you faster access to specialists, private hospitals, and more English-speaking doctors. We help you choose the right plan.
Can I use my EU health card in Greece?
EU citizens can use their EHIC/GHIC for temporary stays. For permanent residence, you need to register with EFKA or obtain private insurance. Retirees receiving pensions from another EU country can use the S1 form for full coverage.
