In brief
A departure must be reflected in the tax record through the appropriate procedure; living abroad and being registered abroad are not interchangeable facts. Retaining Greek property or pensions also needs a separate review.

Prepare the AADE residence-transfer request
Next stepAADE publishes a guide for non-residents and a specific residence-transfer framework. Ask the Greek adviser to identify the current submission channel, applicable year, evidence of Indian residence and filing dates. The checklist here deliberately gives no universal deadline: your move and current AADE instructions must determine it.
Assess continuing Greek-source income
AADE’s non-resident guidance explains Greek-source taxation and applicable conventions. It also flags circumstances involving presumptive income and the cost of acquiring assets. Ask specifically about retained rent, property transactions, deposit income and pension payments after moving; do not assume that non-residence removes every return requirement.
Plan the immigration absence consequences
Editorial preparation: obtain category-specific advice before assuming the Greek card remains usable from India. Ask whether the intended absence affects permission, long-term status, a pending application or nationality residence history. The older EU portal page is not used here to certify current permitted absences.
Retain a practical local reporting route
Editorial preparation: keep myAADE access, download notices and returns, confirm a representative and correspondence address if needed, and arrange management of any property. Ask pension and bank providers about Indian residence, payment instructions and supporting certificates. Keep contribution records even if retirement is far away.
Coordinate the Indian review
Editorial preparation: share the Greek departure assessment, asset costs, ongoing income and Greek tax evidence with the Indian CA. Review the timing of any sale or pension payment before execution, then use the common India chapter for Indian banking and residence actions. No tax-free transfer or pension cash-out is promised.

Model the decision with your own figures
Prepare the dates, currencies, costs and amounts you know. Keep tax eligibility, provider access and uncertain assumptions on your adviser’s question list. The calculators show those assumptions explicitly.
For a return to India, add education, parents’ support, healthcare, partner income and locked funds to the household timeline. Bring supporting-tool figures into it only after reviewing timing, currency and overlap.
Questions to take to an adviser
- Which AADE procedure and evidence apply this year?
- What Greek income still requires a return?
- Do retained assets create presumptive-income questions?
- How does my absence affect the exact permit?
