Visa and entry information for Greek citizens

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. 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 Turkish national day, 29 October, normally means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.

Emergency assistance

Urgent consular cases: phone +30 2241 023 362. 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 Türkiye should contact the Greek embassy accredited to the country (listed on mfa.gr).
