Military service obligations

Dual citizen Australian/Greek males, as well as males eligible for Greek citizenship, may be subject to compulsory military service and other obligations when in Greece. If you believe you may qualify for military service you may be eligible, as a permanent Australian resident, for temporary exemption from your obligation to enable short term travel to Greece.

Information on obtaining temporary exemption under certain circumstances should be sought from your nearest Greek Embassy or Consulate.

It is important to note that if you qualify for compulsory military service you may be denied exit from Greece until you have fulfilled your obligation. The Embassy is unable to assist in this matter.

If you are already in Greece, clarification of your obligation may be obtained from the Military Information Office (Athens)
