Where you can go as a visitor if your passport is from Greece

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 3 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 59 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

A Passport or an Identity Card, and Nothing to Register Until Three Months Have Passed

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Who needs a visa is Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 and not Estonian law. What Estonia adds is a national restatement of the measure that most member states leave to the Union text: section 44(2) of the Välismaalaste seadus says in terms that a national released from the visa requirement may stay in the Schengen member states, Estonia included, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Section 43(1) then lists the eleven things that can make a short stay lawful, from an Estonian visa to another member state's residence permit. Two duties sit on other people rather than on the traveller, and they are lighter than Croatia's: an accommodation establishment must produce the visitor card when the Police and Border Guard Board or the Security Police asks for it, with no deadline running from your arrival, and anyone who gives a foreigner a dwelling or signs a lease with one must check that the stay is lawful. A health insurance contract covering treatment costs is required of a foreigner staying temporarily, and extending a short stay is refused as a rule: section 46(2) allows up to 90 more days only where a circumstance has arisen that the traveller did not know of before arriving.

A Different Book of the Code Applies, and It Asks for Nothing for Three Months

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Whether a short visit needs a visa is decided by Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 and not by French law: Annex I nationals need one, Annex II nationals do not, and the exemption runs for 90 days in any 180-day period. The CESEDA opens by saying it applies subject to Union law and to international conventions, and then builds its own layer on top. Article L. 311-1 lists what every foreigner must carry to enter: the visas required by the Schengen Borders Code where they are not exempt, proof of accommodation where it is asked for, documents on the purpose and conditions of the stay, means of subsistence, medical and hospital cover taken out with an approved insurer, and guarantees of repatriation. Article L. 312-1 measures a short stay in a different unit from the Union: it speaks of a stay not exceeding three months, where the Regulation counts ninety days across a rolling window. And the proof of accommodation is a French institution of its own - the attestation d'accueil, signed by the person putting you up, validated by the mayor of the commune, and carrying the host's undertaking to pay your costs in France for the validity of the visa or for three months.

MaltaVerified with official sourceStable2026-10-10

A Union Citizen Enters on an Identity Card - and Then Has One Month to Tell the Police Where They Are, Unless They Paid for the Bed

reaches you through Nationals of the Union and the wider Economic Area

The general rule it sits on

Whether a traveller needs a visa for Malta is settled by Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 and not by Maltese law: Annex I nationals need one, Annex II nationals do not for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. What Maltese law adds is a measure of its own that has never been brought into line. Regulation 11(1) of the Immigration Regulations permits a third-country national to enter "for a visit the duration of which shall not exceed three months", with a visa "as required by the Common Consular Instructions" - the Union instrument the Visa Code replaced in April 2010, named in a regulation still in force. Regulation 11(4) gives the visa-exempt traveller three months as well, and adds something the Union measure does not have: the Principal Immigration Officer may extend a visit beyond three months. The Immigration Act counts in months too. Under article 6(2) leave to land and remain is deemed to have been granted for three calendar months unless the officer specifies otherwise, and leave to land alone for twenty-four hours. Three calendar months is not 90 days in any 180-day period: one is a single block measured forward from arrival, the other is a rolling allowance measured backwards. Separately, the Act puts a register duty on whoever sells you a bed: article 31 applies to any premises where lodging or sleeping accommodation is provided for reward, and the keeper must record every guest who is not an exempt person.
