Protocol for Arrivals in and Departures from Greece

Beginning July 1, 2020, the Greek government has determined how the country will welcome travelers, carry out the necessary diagnostic screening and keep everyone safe throughout the season.

The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is a key element in the planning. All travelers must complete their PLF until the day before entering the country, providing detailed information on their point of departure, the duration of previous stays in other countries, and the address of their stay while in Greece. In case of multiple stays, they are required to provide the address for the first 24 hours at least. One PLF should be submitted per family.

Travelers will receive a confirmation email upon submission of the PLF.

Travelers will receive the PLF with their unique Quick Response (QR) code on the day of their scheduled arrival in Greece (at midnight) and will be notified via email (the QR code will be provided in a link in the confirmation email).

Travelers boarding or embarking on the previous day of the arrival will be allowed to do so upon showing the confirmation email, since they will receive their QR code during their flight or voyage.

The PLF can also be found on the Visit Greece app and at https://travel.gov.gr

It is strongly recommended that all visitors download the Visit Greece app (GDPR compliant) for free, prior to their arrival in Greece.

International Flights

According to the new regulations as of Tuesday, November 10th all passengers, incoming and also, as decided by the authorities, the outgoing ones, must have completed the PLF (Passenger Locator Form), not later than the previous day of their flight. In addition, as of Wednesday, November 11th all passengers entering Greece are required to hold a negative molecular control (PCR) COVID-19 test result, which must have been carried out up to 72 hours before their arrival in Greece.
