Passenger Locator Form (PLF) for international arrivals in Greece

We would like to inform you that based on Greek Government’s decision, all passengers arriving with an international flight to any airport in Greece are obliged to have completed the special Passenger Locator Form (PLF) latest the day before departure flight, as defined by the Greek Government. The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) can be found here.

Before Check-in:

  • It is compulsory for all passengers on international flights to fill in the Passenger Locator Form published in https://travel.gov.gr the previous day before the flight. Administrative fine may be applied by the Hellenic Civil Protection, in case the PLF is not filled in. 
  • Passengers will receive a QR code which will be used by the Hellenic Civil Protection for the identification of random Covid-19 test upon arrival.
  • Passengers must hold and be able to demonstrate to the authorities, the QR code on an electronic or printed format, upon arrival. 
  • In Case a passenger fails to fill the PLF and does not have either a proof of PLF or the QR code, will be denied boarding. 

Upon arrival in Greece:  

  • All arriving passengers from international flights are checked and subject to random COVID-19 test by the Hellenic Civil protection personnel, in predefined areas at the arrivals of each airport, according to their QR Code. If the COVID-19 tests are positive, the Hellenic Government Health Services will inform the passengers and instruct them to follow a supervised 14 days Quarantine.
  • Following the random checks, passengers will be free to travel to their final destination or residence. 
  • International to domestic connecting passengers will be randomly checked to COVID-19 test (as per QR code) and then will proceed to Security Control and their departing gate for their final destination where they will have to compulsory self-isolate until the testing outcome is available. If due to the diagnostic test process, the passenger is delayed and as a result fails to board to the next connecting flight, then the passenger will automatically be transferred to the next available flight for the final destination. 
  • International to international transfer passengers will not go through COVID-19 test, nor they need to fill in the PLF and will proceed directly to Security Control and on to their departing gate. 
  • Administrative Fines (Hellenic Government) apply to passengers not holding the electronic form- QR code.
  • Passengers are requested to remain in temporary address/hotel, until the COVID-19 test results are published. 

The PLF Process is a process of the Official Authorities of the Greek Government and the General Secretariat for Civil Protection. For any questions regarding the completion and dispatch of the QR code, please contact the Official Authorities.
