Book an appointment where possible – walk-in capacity is limited.

Do Greek citizens need a visa for Türkiye?

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 Türkiye, that means this mission.

The consulate general is normally closed on Greek public holidays. It is usually also closed on Türkiye’s national day (29 October). Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
