Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in a statement that the PLF requirement for visitors to Greece is being abolished.

The statement of the Minister of Tourism reads as follows:

“Following the recommendation of the Expert Committee of the Ministry of Health, the completion of the Passenger Identification Card (PID) by visitors from all countries for entry into Greece will be abolished as of 15 March 2022. The abolition of the PLF simplifies the entry process for travellers, shifting the emphasis to checking vaccination certificates.

In addition, the adoption of the new health protocols for tourism businesses puts Greece in a competitive position. For another year, we are ready to welcome our visitors safely.”

The Commission also recommended increasing the capacity of tourist buses from 85% to 100% from Saturday 5 March, with other protection measures – natural ventilation, use of masks – remaining in force.
