Currency Regulations
There is no limit to the amount of declared currency a tourist can take out or bring into Greece. However, currency or travelers checks exceeding €10,000 must be declared at entry or upon exit from Greece.
Bank Checks need not be declared.
The law provides that proceeds from the sale of real property may be converted into dollars and the dollars may be taken out of Greece. Check with your bank for details.
In order to minimize taxation, non-residents of Greece who maintain accounts in Greek banks must provide proof of their residence outside of Greece. A statement from the Greek Consulate in the country of residence is required. American Consuls cannot provide this document.
