Reminder for travelers to Greece to confirm holding a Schengen visa or valid residence permit
On June 30th, 41 Chinese passengers on flight CA863 from Beijing to Athens were obstructed while entering Greece. The relevant personnel came to Greece to apply for or renew their "golden visa" and only held an electronic residence application confirmation obtained online. After coordinating with the Greek immigration management department as a special case, temporary entry procedures were processed for the above-mentioned personnel to solve the problem of detention.
The Chinese Embassy in Greece reminds that the Greek immigration and immigration authorities have recently strengthened their scrutiny of electronic residence application confirmations obtained through online applications. To avoid situations where my citizen's entry is obstructed, please confirm that you hold a Schengen visa or a valid residence permit before boarding.
