- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.

You live in Greece on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
