Происхождение — греческого этнического происхождения (ομογενείς): понтийцы / бывший СССР / диаспора

Примеры сценариев

• Eligible via Channel (a) Art 1 descent (recognition), not naturalisation: no fee, no language exam, no residence requirement. Greek nationality is determined under Art 25(2) at the Greek consulate and registered in the Δημοτολόγιο; Russian nationality is retained (Greece permits dual nationality).

  Art 1(1) ΚΕΙ confers Greek nationality ipso jure on a child of a Greek national, transmitting indefinitely with no generational cap where each link held Greek nationality and the chain is provable (GR-EV-017). Because a registered Greek-national ancestor is documentarily provable, this is recognition under Art 25(2) (GR-EV-098), not the Art 10 naturalisation fallback. Dual nationality is permitted under Art 16 (GR-EV-082).

• Not eligible for Art 1 descent (no provable registered ancestor), but eligible for facilitated ομογενής naturalisation under Art 15 ΚΕΙ as modernised by Art 39 L.4604/2019: application to the Greek consular authority, three-member consular committee assessment of Greek origin and Hellenic consciousness, Region-authority decision published in the Gazette, oath within one year. There is NO standalone Pontic-genocide statute to invoke.

  Art 15 is FSU-scoped and residual: ομογενείς domiciled in former-USSR countries may acquire by application where they are adults and Greek nationality cannot be ascertained under the Ankara/Lausanne Conventions (GR-EV-056). Pontian Greeks naturalise as ομογενείς under Art 15 / Art 39 L.4604/2019, not via any 'genocide-descent' law — L.2193/1994 confers no citizenship right (GR-EV-057). ομογενείς are exempt from the Art 5(2) residence and ΠΕΓΠ exam (GR-EV-058).

• Not automatically Greek and not eligible for Art 1 descent (no registered Greek-national ancestor). Eligible only via Art 10 ομογενής naturalisation at the Greek consulate (Hellenic-consciousness ascertainment, two Greek-citizen witnesses, €100 + €30 consular, ~18 months).

  Under Lausanne Convention VI Art 2 the Greeks of Constantinople were exempted from the population exchange and remained Turkish nationals — Lausanne did NOT make them Greek (GR-EV-097). With no registered Greek ancestor, Art 1 descent is unavailable, so the route is facilitated ομογενής naturalisation under Art 10 (GR-EV-055), which carries no Greece-residence requirement.

• Eligible via Channel (a) Art 1 descent through the maternal line (gender-neutral): recognition via the Greek consulate in Australia, no fee, no exam, full EU-citizenship package on registration, Australian nationality retained.

  Art 1(1) is gender-neutral — a child of a Greek mother acquires ipso jure at birth, and transmission is indefinite where the chain is provable (GR-EV-017, GR-EV-074). The grandmother's Δημοτολόγιο entry supplies the load-bearing proof (GR-EV-130). Acquisition confers EU citizenship; dual nationality is permitted (GR-EV-082).

• May decline full Greek naturalisation and instead take the ΕΔΤΟ (Special Identity Card) under L.2790/2000 Art 1 §§11-14 — a combined residence-and-work status (extending to minor children and granting rights to a non-Greek spouse), which is NOT Greek citizenship and preserves the home nationality. If he later accepts the dual-nationality consequence, Art 15 / Art 39 L.4604/2019 facilitated naturalisation remains open.

  L.2790/2000 Art 1 §§11-14 lets ethnic Greeks who would lose their home-country nationality on acquiring Greek citizenship receive the ΕΔΤΟ instead — a residence/work status, not citizenship (GR-EV-105). The full-naturalisation alternative is Art 15 / Art 39 L.4604/2019 (GR-EV-056). Greece itself imposes no renunciation requirement (Art 16, GR-EV-082); the loss risk arises from the home state's rules, which the ΕΔΤΟ sidesteps.
