I'm staying in Greece for a student-teaching program for 99 days, which is 9 days past the 90 day limit. The Greek consulate today said when I arrive at the Greece airport, I should immediately apply for RESIDENCY, so that I can stay those extra 9 days. They would not say how to apply for residency though.
Does anyone know who could help me out? I'd just like to know in advance, rather than waiting till last minute to do it.

You must clarify your nationality. If you are EU you do not need to worry about any of this. If you are not then there are different rules for different nationalities. what I do not understand is that if you are joining o project arrangements should be made by the organization that you are involved with. Whatever applies to the EU applies to Greece. It does not sound like you have the prerequisites for residency. That is you have to have a reasonable income. What the consulate is suggesting sounds like a bureaucratic trick to gain you time. It will take more than 99 days to approve you or not. So as long as you are waiting for an answer you can legally stay in the country. If you are rejected after 120 days all you will be asked to do is leave the country within a given time. No hassles.

You should contact your country's embassy in Greece . No one can tell you exactly what to do ( except your embassy of course ) because it depends on where are you coming from .
