The supporting documents I will need when I apply for a residence permit for studies:
1. (*) Photocopy of valid passport or travel document recognized by our country.
2. (*) Valid student visa type D.
3. (*) Administrative fee of 150 euros (issued online from e-paravolo- by choosing for Public Authority: Ministry of Migration Policy-Deposit Fee for Residence Permit and under code 2107). Not required if you are a scholarship holder.
4.Health insurance certificate. Not required if covered by the Scholarship.
If you have an insurance policy from your country of origin, you can submit it officially translated as long as it provides the required coverages.
It is possible to search the gov.gr services for certified translators who are included in the Registry of Certified Translators of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the link: https://metafraseis.services.gov.gr/
