Airlines are demanded to check whether passengers possess a negative Covid-19 test certificate before boarding, as the absence of the test obliges the airline to refuse passenger boarding.

The obligation to complete the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at the electronic address https://travel.gov.gr/ before arrival in Greece remains in force.

The permanent residents of Russia who come to Greece will undergo a sampling laboratory medical examination for COVID-19.

Until the results of the laboratory test are issued, passengers will remain at their place of temporary residence. All passengers must also bring a hotel booking receipt or other appropriate documents, which indicate their place of temporary residence. Greek repatriation programs are excluded from NOTAM.
