- ">Other Important Matters to Note
- Turkish citizens whose passports bear entry and exit stamps for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and Macedonia are not permitted to enter Greece by the Greek Official Authorities. The passenger undertakes and accepts that there are no TRNC and Macedonia stamps in the passport, and if there are, they have been officially informed on this matter that they will personally pay the fine imposed by Greece if they attempt to travel.
- Within the scope of the Door Entry Visa Program, fingerprints are taken from each passenger by the Greek passport police upon entry into Greece. Again, in line with information obtained from the Greek Official Authorities, after fingerprints are taken, there is a minimum waiting period of ½ hour for each person, which may extend to as long as 3-4 hours depending on passenger density. Therefore, our company is not responsible for delays that may arise after the fingerprinting taken upon entry into Greece. Our guests traveling to Greece with a Door Entry Visa declare and undertake in advance that they accept these delays.
