Dual citizen (GR - USA) passport requirements?
1) Can I enter Greece on my US passport or MUST I have a valid Greek passport as well?
2) Can I leave Greece on my US passport?
I understand that a lot of dual nationals like me alternate between passports, BUT I have to leave in a hurry and I have no time to renew my Greek passport.
Answer:
Hi.
You will not need any kind of tourist visa unless you plan to stay in Greece (or any other Schengen country) for longer than 90 days. If not, no need to bother with any other documents other than your US Passport, for coming and going.
The lines at the Athens airport are never long, and you can be through customs in anywhere from 5-15 minutes, start to finish. I came back to Athens from the USA 2 weeks ago (I am an American married to a Greek and have only a US Passport), and I got through customs in less than 5 minutes!
In short, no need to worry about anything other than your U.S. papers.
Good luck!
If you have US citizenship then you can travel on that PP as any other US citizen can.
You can travel on the US passport if you like; there are no visa requirements. Of course, if you had a choice of passport, you're much better using a Greek one because there is very little processing time for EU citizens.
The only thing I would warn you about is not to assume that the Greek authorities will see you as American just because you use a US passport. All that matters to them is that a Greek citizen has re-entered the country. If you have military or tax obligations to fulfill, you won't avoid them :)
Update: Yes, I was talking about lines at customs. EU citizens just flash their passports to the officer and walk through. Truthfully though, unless you hit a really busy day in the middle of the summer, you should be through on a foreign passport within a few minutes.
