Fill in the electronic form Passenger Locator Shape
Starting with July 1 2020, all persons entering the territory of the Hellenic Republic (by air, road or sea) are required to completewith at least 48 hours before the start of the journey, an electronic form (Passenger Locator Shape). It can provide electronic records of those traveling to Greece.
After completion, applicants will receive a unique registration confirmation code, to be submitted to the border authorities (in electronic or printed format) upon entering Greek territory.
The form is available in English at travel.gov.gr. General preventive measures remain mandatory (wearing a mask, disinfecting hands) and social distancing.
Can be performed randomized tests for Covid-19 infection. The person tested must wait, in conditions of self-isolation, at the address he has declared in the electronic form, the result of the test. Refusal to perform the test is sanctioned with a fine in the amount of 500 euros.
