The examination centres will operate in Athens, Thessaloniki, Larisa, Komotini, Ioannina, Patra, Tripoli and Heraklion.
The exam comprises of 20 randomly selected questions on Greek geography, history, culture and political institutions, as well as 20 questions and a brief essay testing the individual’s knowledge of the Greek language.
If the candidate passes the exam, they will be granted the Certificate of Adequate Knowledge for Naturalization.
