Greek Golden Visa
What should I ask before travelling while a Golden Visa case is pending?
Ask your qualified adviser and the appropriate official authority to clarify your specific travel and return plans before booking.
Describe the whole journey
Give your adviser your nationality, current documents, intended route, transit points and planned return. Ask which official authority should confirm the position for your specific circumstances. A pending application, receipt or appointment notice should not be assumed to establish a right to travel, enter or return.
Check each distinct question
Leaving Greece, entering a destination, transiting elsewhere and returning can raise different issues. Ask what needs to be verified for each part of the journey, including the significance of the exact documents you hold. Carrier guidance can help with boarding arrangements but is not a substitute for authoritative immigration clarification.
Raise any scheduled case activity that could overlap with travel, and ask how a changed itinerary should be handled. Keep the written advice and relevant official responses accessible securely while travelling. Avoid committing to bookings on the strength of another applicant’s account or a general description of the programme.
Practical considerations
- Provide the complete route, including transit.
- Show the adviser the exact documents you hold.
- Verify return arrangements separately from departure.
- Check whether travel conflicts with case activity.
