Documents for this route
Bulgarian registration papers
Ask the seller for the original Bulgarian registration certificate: Part I, and Part II where one was issued. You need the originals to register the car in Greece.
Official source: europa.euRegistering the car in Greece
A car brought to Greece from another EU country is declared to Greek customs when it arrives, and the registration tax is assessed and paid there before the car gets Greek plates. The amount depends on the car, so ask a Greek customs office or a customs broker before you buy.

For VAT, a car counts as new if it has done no more than 6,000 km or was delivered within 6 months of its first registration. VAT on a new car is paid in the country where it is registered, so a new car bought abroad and registered in Greece pays Greek VAT.

Questions about this route
Does the car need Bulgarian transit plates?
No. The car travels on our transporter as cargo, so it needs no plates, transit plates or road insurance for the journey.
Where do I pay the Greek registration tax?
At Greek customs. The car is declared to customs when it arrives in Greece, and the registration tax is assessed and paid there. Then the car can be registered and get Greek plates.
