Consular services:

• Passports;
• Power of attorney;
• Delivery of legal documents;
• Verification of the authenticity of foreign documents;
• National military service;
• Taxes;
• Vital records;
• Maritime affairs;
• Hospitalization;
• Transport of bodily remains;

In case of loss or theft, the holder of the lost passport must report the loss immediately to the nearest police or consular authority (the same holds true if the lost passport is found). The above authority carries out an investigation (which may last up to 3 months) into the circumstances under which the passport was lost or stolen. During the investigation, a new passport is not issued to the applicant unless it is deemed necessary that the applicant travel abroad to receive medical treatment.  

In cases of emergency, provisional travelling documents can be issued by our Consular Missions abroad for the repatriation of Greek citizens.  

Citizens of all Schengen countries, (for instance Switzerland, Germany etc.) who wish to travel to Greece need to have only an ID or passport, which should be valid for as long as their trip lasts. No other prerequisites are needed.

Non-Swiss citizens, who have a valid passport and a B or C type residence permit, can travel to Greece without visa. They should have with them both their valid passport and their residence permit.  

The Embassy is closed on public holidays.
