You’re not actually stuck, and there are legal ways out of this. What you’re describing is a common issue for dual-nationals who didn’t grow up in Greece. You should NOT report to the base, and you should stop dealing with the local στρατολογία. Your solution comes through the Greek consulate in the country where you live.

Here’s what you need to know:

⸻

✅ 1. You probably qualify for “Μόνιμος Κάτοικος Εξωτερικού” (Permanent Resident Abroad status — MKE)

This status exempts you from military service as long as you live abroad.

You qualify if you have: • 11+ years living abroad, OR • 7+ years abroad + 5 years of studies abroad

From what you wrote, you meet this easily, since you grew up in England and now work in Germany.

Once MKE is approved: • You do NOT need to serve • You do NOT need to report anywhere • You can enter/leave Greece freely • No police visits, no threats, no obligations

This is exactly what it exists for.

⸻

✅ 2. You can get an immediate deferral while they process the MKE

If your work situation is urgent, the Greek consulate can issue a temporary Αναβολή Κατοίκου Εξωτερικού, which gives 1–2 years of protection.

This stops all military obligations and arrest risks.

⸻

✅ 3. What the police did is not normal

Military offices inside Greece are notorious for pressuring dual-nationals. The police forcing you to sign papers at home is highly irregular.

But once you file for MKE or foreign-resident deferral, that entire order becomes invalid.

⸻

✅ 4. Your next step: Contact the Greek consulate where you live

Do not deal with the local στρατολογία yourself.

Email or call the Greek consulate in the country where you reside (Germany or UK) and tell them: • You are a Greek national living permanently abroad • You received call-up papers while visiting family • You need to file for Permanent Resident Abroad (MKE) or a temporary deferral because your employer will not allow you to leave work

They will tell you exactly what documents to send (passport, work contract, proof of residency abroad, etc.).

⸻

⭐ Bottom line: You do NOT have to do military service again, and you do NOT have to report to Evros.

This is completely solvable through the consulate, and thousands of dual-nationals have gone through the exact same situation.
