Travel documents

Before you set off to head to the airport, make sure you have your passport with you. We will ask for it. Keep in mind though that passports and milk have one thing in common. They expire. Please ensure yours is valid and up to date.

Travel documents for passengers aged 12 years and older:

Valid ID card or passport, depending on the country of destination. Only for domestic flights within the Greek Territory, in case of loss of identity card, you have the opportunity to travel with any other official document bearing your photo (e.g.Driver's License). Hellenic gov.gr wallet ID is only valid within domestic destinations.

Medical certificates, in case here is a health problem that you should inform us about.

Travel documents for infants and children under 12 years of age:

Valid passport. For domestic flights within Greece only, either an identification certificate or the child’s birth certificate with a recent photograph of the child, certified by a Public Authority or KEP, is accepted.

Medical certificates, if there is any health issue of which you should inform us.

Parental (guardian) declaration for a minor travelling:

The following cases apply to minors aged 0–12 and 12–18:

Domestic flights

When the minor is travelling accompanied by one of the parents, it is recommended that they bear a declaration of consent from the other parent for the trip, certified by a competent Public Authority (Citizen Service Centre or via gov.gr). When the minor is accompanied by an adult other than their parent(s), it is recommended that the minor carry a declaration (certified as described above) signed by one or both parents, or by the legal guardian(s). The declaration should state the identity and relationship of the accompanying person to the child, as well as consent for the trip.

If the parent travelling with the child holds an official document granting full custody, no declaration is required.

International flights

The same recommendations apply to international flights. Please note, however, that the declaration may be mandatory under the requirements of the authorities of the country of departure or destination, and a translation into English may also be requested.

Passengers are advised to contact the competent authorities of the countries of departure and destination well in advance, as responsibility for possessing the required travel documents rests solely with the passenger.

Unaccompanied minors aged 12 to 18:

Unaccompanied minors aged 12 to 18 must carry a declaration signed by both parents or the legal guardian(s) — certified by a Public Authority, KEP, or electronically via gov.gr — stating their consent for the minor to travel unaccompanied.

For children under 12 years of age travelling without a parent accompanying them, please see the Unaccompanied Child Service | SKY express

Travel documents for pets:

Animal health booklet if you want to take a pet with you (dog, cat) as well as a statement / confirmation that you are the owner of the animal.

It is also necessary to make sure that your pet carries an identity microchip.

A complete vaccination must be carried out at least 21 days before the flight and must be in effect on the day of travel.

Additional travel documents:

For the transfer of weapons and ammunition, as to the authenticity of the documents certifying the legal possession and carrying of weapons, the control is carried out by the POLICE.

Travel documents for visiting UK:

Since 1 October 2021, the United Kingdom accepts only valid passports — not national ID cards — from citizens of EEA and Schengen countries.

UK ETA Requirement from 2 April 2025
For short-stay travel (tourism, business, visits, or transit with entry into the country), citizens of Greece and other EU/EEA countries are required, in addition to their passport, to obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure.

• The ETA is not a visa; it is an electronic travel authorisation.
• It is valid for multiple entries for up to two years, or until the passport expires.
• It allows stays of up to 6 months per visit.
• The application is completed online, and it is recommended to apply at least 3 working days before travel.
• It costs £16.

An ETA is not required if:

• You hold a UK or Irish passport.
• You already have a UK visa or a special immigration status (e.g., settled / pre-settled status). This rule will change in 2026 and the UK will no longer accept any EU ID cards.

Note: If a visa is required for the purpose of travel (work, study, long stays over 6 months), the relevant visa procedures remain in effect. Please check here whether your country requires a visa to enter the UK.
