Basic information for asylum application in Greece

You can ask for asylum all over Greece before the police – also if you are in detention. The police will first register your claim, give you the Pink Card (temporary residence permit for asylum seekers valid for 3 or 6 months and renewable) and an appointment for your asylum interview.

Attention!
In Athens, but also in other major cities of Greece, asylum applications are limited.  Note that you have to personally lodge an asylum application before the competent authority (there are several Asylum Offices across Greece). It's highly recommended to consult with one of the Greek NGOs working with asylum seekers where you can be properly and timely prepared for your asylum application process.
