Importing car into Greece
I want to import my UK registered car to my new home in Greece. Does anyone know if this is easy to do? All help appreciated.Bob Henderson

REPLY: There's no import tax but you'll have to pay a registration tax that is a percentage of the car's value. It's not cheap so it might be better in the long run to buy a new car in Greece.

REPLY: You can drive in not a problem, but have to register it. the only way around this is buying a return boat ticket (Patra-Ancona-Patra) every 6 months as fake proof that you have left the country and returned, as your 6 month allowance will be renewed !

REPLY: Hello Bob,
I am a Greek myself living abroad. Not trying to discourage or dissuade you but i have a friend doing that for the last ten years or so which told me some fascinating stories. Importing a car into Greece is not an easy task. It is costly and you will end having a bitter taste with the way the authorities work there every time you would need to deal with them (locking or unlocking the car). Otherwise you will have a blast. Good luck. Not sure when you post however, If you need a contact there contact me at gcedj@yahoo.ca Elinios
