Summary
Greek citizens do not need a visa for Greece. If you have since taken another nationality, you travel on your new passport and the entry rules for that nationality apply instead.
Who this page is for
- 01People who previously held Greek citizenship.
- 02People of Greek origin now travelling on a foreign passport.
Do former Greek citizens need a visa?
Greece recognises the passport you hold today. Citizens travelling on their own Greek passport need no visa to enter their own country.
If you have naturalised elsewhere, check the requirement for your current nationality instead — that is the rule border officers apply. Some countries also operate an origin-based card for former citizens; where Greece does, the authorities publish the eligibility rules.
Eligibility, fees and processing times are decided by the destination government and can change without notice. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Questions travellers ask
Do Greek citizens need a visa for Greece?
No. A country never requires its own citizens to hold a visa to enter. This page exists for people who once held Greek citizenship and now travel on a foreign passport.
I changed nationality. What applies when I visit Greece?
You are treated as a national of your new country, so you check the entry requirement for that passport. Eligibility, fees and processing times are decided by the destination government and can change without notice. This page is general information, not legal advice.
