Military Schools in Greece: Application Deadline Extended

The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth has decided to extend the deadline for submitting applications to the Higher Military Educational Institutions (ASEI) and the Higher Military Schools of Non-Commissioned Officers (ASSY) until Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 23:59. This extension is due to substantial modifications regarding the physical fitness criteria for candidates, which were published in the Official Gazette on March 3, 2026. The modifications concern the minimum height limits and were made following a request from the Ministry of Defense, aiming to facilitate candidates. Candidates who have already submitted an application or wish to make changes must do so by the new deadline. After this date, no new registrations, changes, or modifications will be accepted, and the responsibility for any errors or omissions lies solely with the candidate. The Ministry of Defense has published an announcement on its website with all the information regarding the changes in the physical fitness criteria. The Examination Service will operate a telephone center (22582933 / 22582934) and will accept emails ([email protected]) to support candidates during the extension period. This extension gives candidates additional time to adapt to the new requirements and complete their applications accurately, ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities to access military schools.
