Overstayer in Greece to apply for passport [closed]

I'm fully Greek and my son is British. We came back in Greece for a long stay, until end of October. My son's 90 days are up 3rd of June. We do have an appointment at the Special Registry of Athens(only place to register births outside of Greece) end of July, and subsequently we will apply for a Greek passport. By that time he will be an overstayer.

What do I do? Do I go back to the UK and apply for citizenship through an embassy or overstay and apply from here? In the latter case, are there any legal implications?

Edit: my son is 4 months old. I am the father. Both me and the mother are fully Greeks and were legally married at the time of birth. Our son had the right for British citizenship due to us being permanent residents in the UK.

Best Answer

Your son should apply for an extension as soon as possible.

If rejected, he must leave and apply for a D-Visa to avoid a possible fine.

Extensions are not given without a good reason and can be very expensive.

In this case, your son is of Greek heritage and an application for recognition of citizenship has been made.

It is also helpful, that you (as his father and Greek citizen) has accompanied him.

Since you seemed to have made the appointment soon after your arrival and the waiting time is 3 months, this should be considered a valid reason to stay longer.

The sooner the extension application is made the better.

Embassy of Greece in London: Declaration of birth: Declaration of birth of a child by married parents:
Registration of birth is considered complete when the details are entered into the family record of the Greek citizen; thereupon the child acquires Greek citizenship.
