Hi there, I am filipina and having a 4year old son born by a greek father, I would be grateful enough if anyone can share their experiences getting a greek passport for my son, any one knows the firsthand requirements. I've been calling the embassy here but they are all busy and the distance is quiet far and if I arrive there have to wait for a whole day. Its going to be a whole day affair if I arrive there at 8am. My son is acknowledge by his greek father and we are married too. Thank you so much.
:confused:

Dear nikolaos

If you are not in a hury, just send the embassy a REGISTERED letter with details and copies of all the data involved , and ask them to set a meeting with you (fixed date + time) to discuss this matter personally.
Alternatively : phone them !

Success.

Hi credendovidis

Thanks for the advice. Surely will phone them or if not to send them a registered mail. That is the most valid thing to send a letter via registered one.

In my country it is incredible to have an appointment with the embassy since the Greek embassy they are so occupied processing with the filipino seamen and domestic helper visas.

All depends on when you married the father of your child - before or after the child's birth...

If you married before the birth of your son, then he was born in wedlock. Your son is a Greek citizen by birth per article 1 of law 3284/2004 and all you need is a) your husband's certificate of registration in a municipality in Greece, b) your wedding certificate, and c) your son's birth certificate. Some of these documents may have to be authenticated [the Embassy will tell you what needs to be done].

If your son was born out of wedlock, then your son was not born a Greek citizen. Instead, he can become a Greek citizen by recognition per Article 2 of law 3284/2004. You will need to have your husband recognize the child through the court system in Greece or at the Greek Embassy overseas. It is very important that this happen before your son's 18th birthday, otherwise he loses the right to a Greek passport. But since he is still 4, then you have a long time ahead of you.
