Non-Immigrant Visas
Greece and the Visa Waiver Program
Greece has been selected as a candidate for the Visa Waiver Program. Secretary of State Rice sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nominating Greece for the program, and DHS has conducted a formal review of Greece's candidacy. These are important developments, but for now, Greeks still need a visa to travel to the United States. Please click here if you need information on how to apply. The U.S. Embassy in Athens will continue to work closely with the Greek government on this matter.
Citizens of current VWP member countries who would like information on the new Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) announced on June 3 may visit CPB.gov
