Greece is a developed and stable democracy with a modern economy. A passport is required but no visa is needed for tourist or business stays of up to three months. In addition to being subject to all Greek laws affecting U.S. citizens, dual nationals may also be subject to other laws that impose special obligations on Greek citizens.
Civil disorder is rare.
Prominent Greek businessmen, journalists, and politicians have also been targeted. The potential for terrorist activities against U.S. and commercial interests remains high. There have been no specific threats against private American citizens traveling in Greece. Travelers should nevertheless review their security practices and be alert to their surroundings. The Consular Affairs home page provides updated information whenever there is a need to alert Americans to a specific situation.
