Notes

Under normal circumstances, the national emergency travel document is not issued to residents of the area where the consular authority is based. It is only granted in exceptional cases. The duration of the emergency travel document does not normally exceed 15 days and does not replace the issuance of an ordinary Greek passport. It should also be noted that, pursuant to Article 4(6) of Law 4251/2014 of the Migration and Social Integration Code (Government Gazette, Series I, No 80), a person who is proved to be a Greek citizen or a citizen of an EU Member State cannot be refused entry into Greece, even if they does not have a passport or other travel document.

You will then receive confirmation codes by text message on your mobile phone. The electronic solemn declaration that you will issue is legally equivalent to a solemn declaration bearing an authentic signature and you can either send it electronically or print it out and submit it to a public authority. At the same time, citizens retain the right to physically sign a solemn declaration pursuant to Article 8 of Law 1599/86, and to submit it to the competent authority as a supporting document.
