Execution of Foreign Judgments
Foreign judgments (issued outside of Greece), are not automatically acknowledged and enforced in Greece. The foreign judgment needs to legally be acknowledged in Greece through Court proceedings. Once the competent Greek Court acknowledges the foreign judgment and it reflects the ruling of the foreign Court or Authority, it may then be enforced in Greece. Foreign judgments that may be acknowledged and enforced in Greece are: debt collection, divorce, child support, visitation rights, custody, change of name etc.
