Clearance planning

Prepare the right documents before reaching port.

Greek yacht clearance can involve more than one office. The details depend on the port, last country, next country, yacht flag, VAT/customs status and crew nationality.

Send your route before arrival so the local agent can confirm which steps apply and which documents should be ready before the skipper goes ashore.

Before arrival

Send vessel and route details

Provide yacht name, flag, registration, length, ETA, last port, next port and whether you need check-in, check-out or both.

Documents

Prepare the clearance folder

Have passports, registration, insurance, crew list, TEPAI confirmation, Transit Log information and VAT/customs documents where relevant.

At the port

Follow the local office sequence

The local agent confirms which offices apply for your case and helps you prepare for Customs, Immigration and Port Police steps.

Greek formalities

TEPAI, Transit Log, Schengen and Customs status.

Before entering or leaving Greece, skippers should check whether TEPAI, Transit Log, passport control, Customs or temporary admission steps apply to the yacht and crew.

€

TEPAI

Greek recreational boating fee for leisure vessels over 7 m in Greek territorial waters. Skippers should check the official eTEPAI portal and prepare proof before clearance.

TL

Digital Transit Log

Some private pleasure boats over 7 m, especially non-EU or temporary-admission cases, may need Transit Log handling through the official digital procedure.

90

Schengen days

Non-EU passport holders should track Schengen entry/exit days carefully. Arrival from a non-Schengen country can make the passport-control story clearer, but requirements depend on the case.

VAT

Temporary admission

Non-EU VAT / temporary admission cases depend on vessel flag, owner residence, skipper status and proof of exit/entry. This is where an agent can prevent expensive mistakes.

PR

Print everything

Printed registration, insurance, passports, crew list, TEPAI proof and previous clearance can make office visits faster, especially when systems or printers are unavailable.

AG

Agent review

A local agent can review the yacht, crew, route and timing before advising which formalities are likely to apply.

Practical help

Tell us your route and timing.

Every clearance request is different. The fastest way to get useful guidance is to send your intended port, arrival or departure date, last and next country, yacht flag and crew details.

FAQ

Greece yacht clearance questions

Do I need a customs agent in Greece?

Not always, but many captains prefer to use one because the process can involve several offices, document checks and Greek-specific requirements. An agent is especially useful for non-EU yachts, non-Schengen crew, charter vessels, urgent arrivals and first-time visitors.

Which Greek entry port should I choose?

Choose the port where you expect to first complete formalities. If you are unsure, select Other port in the form and type the marina or port name. A local agent can confirm the correct clearance location.

What documents should I send first?

Start with registration, insurance, passports, crew list, last port, next port, arrival time, yacht flag, length, VAT/customs status and whether you need check-in or check-out.

Do I need TEPAI?

Most leisure vessels over 7 metres in Greek waters should check TEPAI requirements. The agent can help verify what applies and what proof should be presented.

Do non-EU yachts need a Transit Log?

Many non-EU or temporary-admission yachts may need Transit Log handling. The exact requirement depends on the yacht, flag, owner and customs status.

Can clearance be done on weekends?

Sometimes, but it depends on authority opening hours, local workload and the case. Use the request form and clearly mark urgent or weekend arrivals.
