Travelling from Greece to North Macedonia

The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not publish visa rules for individual countries. It asks Greek citizens travelling outside the EU and the European Economic Area to check with the consular authorities of the country they are visiting before departure – for North Macedonia, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).

Closing days

Like most offices in Greece, the consulate general closes on public holidays – including Clean Monday, Orthodox Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday), the Assumption (15 August) and Christmas. The Macedonian national day, 8 September, normally means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

Macedonian nationals in urgent need of help can call +30 2310 277 347. Typical emergencies are a lost passport before a flight, a hospital stay or an arrest; costs remain with the person concerned. In Greece, the emergency number is 112 (police 100, ambulance 166, fire service 199; tourist police 1571). Greek citizens who need help in North Macedonia should contact the Greek embassy accredited to the country (listed on mfa.gr).
