What does the honorary consul in Thessaloniki do?
The honorary consul in Thessaloniki is a volunteer representative of the Philippines, usually a local business or civic figure. Nikolaos Margaropoulos holds the post, according to the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Honorary consuls usually work part-time, so a visit needs to be arranged. Questions can be sent in advance: call +30 2310 553 602 and e-mail philhoncon@margaropoulos.com.
Thessaloniki is in Central Macedonia. The embassy in Athens is roughly 305 km away.
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 the Philippines, that means this mission. See the ministry’s page on visas for Greek citizens (in Greek).
Which Philippine office issues passports and visas?
Binding consular acts – passports, visas, certificates – are the responsibility of the Philippine Embassy in Athens.
When is the office closed?
Expect the honorary consulate to be closed on Greek public holidays such as Epiphany (6 January), Independence Day (25 March) and Ochi Day (28 October). The Philippine national day, 12 June, normally means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.
