Entry Requirements for Greece
Greece does not require a tourist or business visa for stays of less than 90 days. You will need a passport valid for at least 90 days beyond the date of departure from Greece, and Planet Depos strongly recommends traveling with a passport valid no less than 6 months beyond your departure from Greece. You will need one blank passport page for your entry stamp. Planet Depos does recommend having at least 2 blank pages, however. Most flights from the Unites States do include a stopover in another country, so you will need to check any country or countries you pass through to determine if a separate transit visa is required.
