Union Citizens Register with the Police, and Sufficient Resources Are Measured Against the Greek Minimum Pension
Answer
The general rule applies to you
No exception is recorded for citizens of Honduras on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.
147 exceptions recorded across 54 countries · none match Honduras to Greece · Residency under a regional treaty
A Union citizen does not enter Greece on the Immigration Code. Article 162 of that Code says only that Union citizens and their family members, whatever their nationality, may be issued a residence title under Presidential Decree 106/2007, which transposes Directive 2004/38. Under article 7 of that Decree the right to stay beyond three months belongs to a Union citizen who is employed or self-employed, or who has sufficient resources and comprehensive sickness insurance so as not to burden the social assistance system, or who is enrolled at an educational institution with the same insurance and a declaration of sufficient resources. Two Greek details sit under that. Registration is with the police: article 8 obliges a Union citizen staying more than three months to appear in person, before the three months are out, at the police authority handling aliens' matters for the place of residence. And the measure of sufficient resources is not a wage but a pension - article 8(3) has the amount of the minimum pension paid in Greece taken into account, and article 8(2)(c) says the declaration need not state the specific amount of the resources at all. Five continuous years of lawful residence give the right of permanent residence under article 13, free of the conditions in Chapter III. Law 5275/2026 lengthened the residence card for the extended family members of article 3(2) from two years to five.

Article 8(1) of Presidential Decree 106/2007.
- How sufficient resources are measured

- Permanent residence
- After five continuous years of lawful residence
Article 13(1) of Presidential Decree 106/2007; the right is free of the conditions in Chapter III, and absences of up to six months a year do not break continuity.
- Residence card for the extended family
- Five years, raised from two in February 2026
Article 3(2) of Presidential Decree 106/2007 as amended by article 53 of Law 5275/2026.

Requirements
- A valid identity card or passport of a Union member state

Country-level policy
Law 5038/2023 was published on 1 April 2023 and article 179 set it to come into force on 1 January 2024. It never did on that date: article 97 of Law 5079/2023, passed on 22 December 2023, replaced article 179 and moved commencement to 31 March 2024, taking the regulatory decisions issued under article 176 with it. Since then the Code has been amended at least three times in ways that reach the routes in these records. Article 64 of Law 5100/2024 replaced the investor article in April 2024 and reset the property thresholds. Law 5275/2026, on 6 February 2026, transposed the recast single-permit Directive and reworked some forty articles, among them the admission-volume procedure, the employer-call procedure, the student permit and its hours cap, the ten-year permit, the residence card for the family of a Greek, and article 3 of the free-movement decree. Law 5307/2026, on 11 June 2026, amended the long-term residence article. Anything written about Greek immigration law between April 2023 and March 2024 describes rules that had not started, and anything written before February 2026 describes work and study provisions that have since changed.
What applies to you
Nothing changes for a citizen of Honduras
We have no rule recorded that treats your citizenship differently here, so the general rule above is the one that applies to you. That is an answer, not a gap.
What the law says
«Οι πολίτες της Ένωσης έχουν δικαίωμα διαμονής»The right beyond three months, on the four alternative grounds the Directive sets out: employment or self-employment, sufficient resources with sickness insurance, study with both, or being the family member of someone who meets one of those.

Cannot be cited for: It consolidates nothing. There is no official edition of any Greek statute as it now stands, no cut-off date to cite, and no address at which the Immigration Code, the Income Tax Code or the Code of Greek Nationality can be read as currently in force. The practical substitute is a drafting convention rather than a service: an amending Act usually reprints the whole amended article under the formula 'και το άρθρο N διαμορφώνεται ως εξής', so the current text of a provision lives in whichever issue last changed it, and the reader has to know which that is. It cannot be cited for the text of any article without first establishing that nothing has amended it. Two mechanical limits matter as well. The gazette has been set in two columns for most of its history, and the project's PDF extraction preserves the physical layout, so in a stored reading a line of the left column is followed immediately by a line of the right one - a quotation taken from an issue of 2024 or earlier has to fit inside a single line of a single column, around fifty characters. The layout changed to a single full-width column during 2025: the 2026 issues read as continuous prose and can be quoted at length. And issues from before roughly 2007 are set in fonts with a non-Unicode encoding: ΦΕΚ Α' 217 of 2004, which carries the Code of Greek Nationality, extracts entirely as Latin-1 mojibake and cannot be quoted at all. Gazette issues also carry one or two physically blank pages before the colophon, which a page-coverage check reports as empty.

Standing: Issues the instrument
Cannot be cited for: It consolidates nothing. There is no official edition of any Greek statute as it now stands, no cut-off date to cite, and no address at which the Immigration Code, the Income Tax Code or the Code of Greek Nationality can be read as currently in force. The practical substitute is a drafting convention rather than a service: an amending Act usually reprints the whole amended article under the formula 'και το άρθρο N διαμορφώνεται ως εξής', so the current text of a provision lives in whichever issue last changed it, and the reader has to know which that is. It cannot be cited for the text of any article without first establishing that nothing has amended it. Two mechanical limits matter as well. The gazette has been set in two columns for most of its history, and the project's PDF extraction preserves the physical layout, so in a stored reading a line of the left column is followed immediately by a line of the right one - a quotation taken from an issue of 2024 or earlier has to fit inside a single line of a single column, around fifty characters. The layout changed to a single full-width column during 2025: the 2026 issues read as continuous prose and can be quoted at length. And issues from before roughly 2007 are set in fonts with a non-Unicode encoding: ΦΕΚ Α' 217 of 2004, which carries the Code of Greek Nationality, extracts entirely as Latin-1 mojibake and cannot be quoted at all. Gazette issues also carry one or two physically blank pages before the colophon, which a page-coverage check reports as empty. The host et.gr itself cannot be used: a request for the old /api/DownloadFeksApi/ endpoint is redirected to a bare IP address whose certificate no client can verify.

Practical notes
Greece belongs to no regional free-movement arrangement outside the European Union. This record is the Union right as Greek law carries it, and the instrument that carries it is a presidential decree of 2007 rather than the Immigration Code.
What was read: articles 1 to 13 and 27 of Presidential Decree 106/2007, article 162 of Law 5038/2023, and articles 39 and 53 of Law 5275/2026. No separate instrument for nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland was read, so this record does not say how Greece treats them.
The registration certificate is issued by the police rather than by a municipality or a migration office, which is where Greece differs from most of the member states in this corpus.
