Argentina to Greece visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders can travel to Greece visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, because Argentina is on the EU visa-exempt list (Annex II of Regulation 2018/1806). No visa or ETIAS is required for entry as of 2026-05-30. ETIAS pre-travel authorization is expected to become mandatory only after its Q4 2026 launch and transitional period. Greece is a member of the Schengen Area, and Argentina is listed in Annex II of EU Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, the roster of third countries whose nationals are exempt from the short-stay visa requirement. As a result, holders of an ordinary Argentine passport may enter Greece (and the rest of the Schengen Area) for tourism or other short visits without a visa, for a maximum of 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. The 90-day allowance is cumulative across all Schengen states, not per country. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date and issued within the previous 10 years, and should be able to show proof of onward/return travel, sufficient funds, and accommodation if requested at the border. As of the verification date (30 May 2026), no electronic travel authorization is required. The EU's ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is scheduled to become operational in the last quarter of 2026, followed by a transitional grace period of about six months; once mandatory, visa-exempt nationals including Argentines will need an approved ETIAS (expected fee EUR 20, valid up to 3 years) before boarding. The separate Entry/Exit System (EES) registers biometric data at the external border but does not require a prior application. Until ETIAS becomes enforceable, Argentine travelers need only a valid passport to visit Greece.
