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.

Minor children, aged 12 to 18 years old, traveling unaccompanied, need to present a formal declaration from both parents, certified by a Public Authority, a Citizens’ Service Center (KEP) or online via gov.gr, stating that they both have knowledge of the trip of the unaccompanied child.

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

They have to carry a passport.

Only for domestic flights within the Greek Territory, either with an identification certificate or a birth certificate along with a recent photo of the child, validated by a Public Authority or a Citizens Service Centre (KEP).

In case the child travels only with one parent or guardian, an authorization validated by Public Authority, Citizens Service Centre (KEP) or electronically issued via the gov.gr platform is required, which gives permission for the child to be accompanied by that parent or guardian only. (The authorization must be signed by the other parent). For international flights the authorization, as described above, must be in English. If the parent travelling with the child carries an official document for full custody, no authorization is required.

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

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.
