Why this verdict
Greek citizens are mapped to Russia's unified eVisa route from the KD MID official country table and the official eVisa portal. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: bilateral exemptions, biometric passport conditions, diplomatic/service passports, APEC cards, crew routes, work, study, sanctions, overland border rules, airline routing and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
