澳大利亚(Australia) 前往 希腊(Greece) 签证要求

Australian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Greece for tourism. As Greece is in the Schengen Area, Australians may enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Since 10 April 2026 the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records biometrics at the border, and ETIAS travel authorisation is expected to become mandatory in Q4 2026 (not yet required as of 31 May 2026). Australia is on the EU's visa-exempt (Annex II) list, so Australian ordinary passport holders can travel to Greece and the wider Schengen Area for tourism, business, or visiting family without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. No advance application is currently required. Two EU border modernisations affect Australian travellers in 2026. First, the Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 10 April 2026: on arrival, non-EU short-stay visitors register fingerprints and a facial photo, and passport stamping is replaced by digital entry/exit records that automatically track the 90/180 allowance. Second, ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is an electronic travel authorisation that will become a mandatory pre-travel requirement for visa-exempt nationals, including Australians, expected to launch in Q4 2026 with a transitional/grace period afterwards. As of today (31 May 2026), ETIAS is NOT yet live and is not required to enter Greece. Passports must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure date from the Schengen Area and issued within the previous 10 years. Travellers may be asked at the border to show proof of onward/return travel, sufficient funds, and accommodation. Time spent in any Schengen country counts toward the 90-day total. For stays beyond 90 days or for work/study, a national long-stay visa or residence permit is required.
