You may enter Greece by following the procedures below:

3. Ukrainian citizens who do not have travel documents may enter only from the Passport Control Department in Promahon (tel. 0030-23230 41079) where you will be issued a document by the staff of the Ukrainian Embassy in Greece. This procedure allows you to stay for a maximum of 90 days.

4. In case your children do not have travel documents, National Police officials will note under the entry stamp on your own passport the number of minor children you are accompanying.

Attention: in this case, you will have to show a certificate of marital status or a birth certificate of your children. If you do not have either of these documents, you must complete and submit a solemn declaration stating the number of children, their first name, surname, gender and date of birth.

Provision of Temporary Protection

Important: The process of granting temporary protection is provided free of charge by the Ministry of Migration and Asylum. More specifically, free interpreting services are provided at the helpdesk during the full registration procedure in order for the temporary protection residence permit to be served to the beneficiary. The permit also indicates your/ provides you with tax identification number (AFM) and social security number (AMKA).

Material Provisions and Accommodation

There is the possibility of short-term accommodation in the open structure of Sintiki for those who wish, until the process of issuing travel documents, where required, is completed.

Those who wish to be accommodated for a longer period of time may submit a request to: https://migration.gov.gr/accomodation-ukraine/

The Ministry of Migration and Asylum will provide you with accommodation immediately, in accommodation structures already available.

Unaccompanied Minors

In the case of unaccompanied minors, the National Mechanism for the Identification and Protection of Unaccompanied Minors of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum is activated for the transfer of the children to special emergency accommodation facilities; thereafter, the relevant identification (if necessary) and guardianship procedure is followed.

All Ukrainian citizens residing in Greece who are going to receive and provide care for their minor relatives from Ukraine arriving in Greece, are kindly requested to receive them from the entry points. Specifically, the adult relatives should be present at the entry points (e.g., Promachonas Border Station) during the minors’ arrival holding the necessary legal documents that prove their family relationship. Additionally, they should also hold the documents that prove the consent of the minor’s parents concerning the assignment of the custody to the adult relative in Greece. Upon assessment by the Greek authorities and the Implementing Partners of the National Emergency Response Mechanism for Unaccompanied Minors in precarious living conditions, the adult relatives will be able to undertake the care/ custody of their minor relative.

Is the 90-day stay cumulatively calculated upon entry in any Schengen area country or in each country separately?

The 90-day deadline applies only to the country in which you are considered to reside. Therefore, it starts upon your entry in Greece and stops when you leave. Please note that this deadline expires once you apply for and receive temporary protection status. From that moment on, you will have the right to stay in Greece for at least one year.

You can visit Scisto Facility which is located in Perama, Attica. If you are outside Attica you will need to place a request for humanitarian aid.

National Emergency Response Mechanism for unaccompanied minors in precarious living conditions

The Special Secretariat for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors is already active with the assistance of Embassies, International Organizations and NGOs to identify unaccompanied minors at the borders of Ukraine with other European countries, in order to either offer expertise, or to regulate matters of transportation and accommodation of these children in Greece.

In the event of the arrival of unaccompanied minors at the Greek borders, the National Mechanism of Urgent Response is activated to transfer the children to special emergency accommodation structures and then the prescribed identification procedure is followed (if necessary).
