Information for Foreigners Travelling to Greece

• Information for citizens of EU member states:
  

If you are an EU national , you do not need to show your national ID card or passport when travelling from one passport-free Schengen EU country to another. However, for foreigners travelling to Greece, it is strongly recommended to have a passport or ID card (with photo on it) with them, so that they can prove their identity, if needed, at any given circumstances. Please note that driving licences, post, bank or tax cards are not accepted as valid travel documents or proof of identity.

Danish nationals

Regarding Danish nationals, the Danish documents that are recognized in the EU/Schengen area are listed here: http://prado.consilium.europa.eu/DA/categories/showAllCategories_DNK.html

Please note that the Danish identity card (with CPR number) is not usable as a travel document, as it does not contain a photo of the holder.

Therefore, Danish nationals travelling to Greece are advised to make sure beforehand that they have a valid passport. This applies also to children who are registered in the passport of their parents (not valid anymore in Denmark - for detailed information please see the relevant webpage of the Danish Ministry for Foreign Affairs http://um.dk/da/rejse-og-ophold/rejse-til-udlandet/pas-og-visum/)
