Consulate General of Greece in Gjirokaster

George Martin

I am American my wife is Filipina only Philippine passport we wanted to transit thru Athens airport coming from Albania going back to the Philippines. Everywhere I read it says no visa needed if less than 24hours in Greece but is that only at the airport or can we take a bus from Saranda Albania to Athens then hop on plane to Philippines in Greece maximum 15 hours or Fly from Tirana no luggage but need to change airlines and might have to go thru immigration exit and return to gate but staying in airport less than 24 hours. Need your help please so we can make plans to go home for Christmas. Thank you for your assistance George and Mariza Martin
