Greek nationals who have been vaccinated for COVID-19 in any of 60 countries using the European Certificate program can register online in the Greek National Vaccination Registry as of 10 January, to be certified.
Deputy Digital Governance Minister George Georgantas told Parliament that people who have been administered one or two doses in the 27 EU countries and another 33 countries outside the EU can register on “anagnorisi.emvolio.gov.gr”. Australia and the United States however have not joined the EU Digital COVID Certificate system in order to register your vaccination(s) on the Greek govwernment website.
The platform may be used by those who have been administered two doses in Greece and a booster shot abroad. Those who have done two doses and want to get a booster shot in Greece may set an appointment through the same platform, Georgantas told KINAL MP George Kaminis, who asked the question.
This would facilitate entry to indoor venues now open only to fully vaccinated people, he said. These include indoor restaurants, theaters, and entertainment and music venues, among others.
As of 16 January, any person over 60 years of age not vaccinated is subject to a 50-euro fine for January and a 100-euro fine every month thereafter, according to Greek law. Georgantas clarified that the fines are for people who have not received a single vaccination dose.
For nationals or those vaccinated in countries not among the 60 countries included in the European certification program (including Australia), a person may go to one of the Citizen Service Centers (KEP) and apply with any valid vaccination certificates they have, in order to be exempted from the fines.
To enter Greece if you are travelling from Australia, you’ll need either a negative PCR test conducted at least 72 hours before travelling or a negative rapid antigen test taken 24 hours before travelling.
Note: To register, users are required to have a Greek id or Greek passport; a social security number and taxisnet (tax file number).
