Greece removes paperwork for vaccinated travelers. Credit: Greek ReporterGreece announced on Thursday the easing of travel by abolishing a requirement by vaccinated international travelers to fill in a detailed passenger form.
The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) was introduced as part of the measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
The measure will take effect as of March 15, Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in a statement, adding that the decision was taken after a recommendation of the panel of experts advising the government on the pandemic.
The PLF had to be completed online at least 48 hours before entering the country and included information such as the country they came from and the address of their stay during their holiday, as well as the duration of previous stays in other countries.
Abolition of passenger form “simplifies travel to Greece”
“The abolition of the PLF simplifies the entry process for travelers, shifting the emphasis on the vaccination certificates,” Kikilias said.
