Greek citizenship PEGP exam: B1 language and knowledge
Understand the Certificate of Knowledge Adequacy for Naturalisation, including B1-equivalent Greek and the official knowledge sections.
The PEGP naturalisation examination assesses Greek at a level equivalent to B1 plus Geography, History, Culture and the Political Institutions of Greece.
Separate language from factual preparation
B1 communication requires listening, reading, writing and speaking. The knowledge component has its own official thematic scope and question bank, so vocabulary study cannot replace factual preparation.
Use current government instructions
Applications use personal Taxisnet credentials and supporting documents. Verify current eligibility, exemptions, fees, dates and evidence through gov.gr and the Ministry of Interior.
A reliable practice method
Work with a short recording by a contemporary Greek speaker. Notice the target pattern, retrieve it without reading, and place it in a message about your own life. Revisit it after one day and one week. Keep listening, pronunciation and production together: recognising a form is not the same as using it in a live interaction.
How to judge progress
Repeat one realistic task every two weeks and compare the amount of support, clarity, accuracy and speed. When an official certificate or immigration procedure matters, verify the current rule with the responsible Greek authority; an app, forum or undated article cannot determine eligibility.
Questions learners ask
Frequently asked questions
Is an ordinary B1 certificate automatically the PEGP?
No. PEGP is a combined naturalisation knowledge examination; official exemptions or accepted evidence must be checked for the individual route.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is learning guidance grounded in current official sources.
How should I practise this topic?
Use short native examples, retrieve the pattern from memory and apply it in a real message or conversation.
