Indeed, the TEPAI is intended for &#8220;pleasure boats,&#8221; so if your boat is wintering afloat in a port, you should not have to pay the TEPAI.<p>To do this, you need to hand over your &#8220;registration letter&#8221; to the local coast guard while you are not using your boat, which means that your boat cannot technically move. They will let you stay without paying the tax, and you can retrieve your documents when you are back on the water and only pay the TEPAI for your time navigating in Greece.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-590e6227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"590e6227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"4\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dff6a85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dff6a85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60a9b0e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"60a9b0e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to get and pay your TEPAI?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25b9b28a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25b9b28a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Paying TEPAI is a \u201cstraightforward\u201d process, thanks to the online platform provided by the Greek government.
