  • Hi There, Please help me. I am from Somalia but live in the UK. I have a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Travel Document (convention of 28 July 1951). I need to travel to Greece in July 2011 for 1 week. Will i need a visa? Please help me asap with reliable information. Thank you for you're time. Kind Regards

  • Answer:

    Your Travel Document gives you the right to use it only in the country issued, but on the other hand does not forbid you to go elsewhere, provided you will return to the issuing country. The best action is to read the links on the site below. One of them says that you are not allowed to have visas,so ,I suggested you visit the Greek Embassy with your document explain the reason for your travel and see what they tell you.

Visa free travel for refugees in Europe is based on the 'European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees, Strasbourg, 20.IV.1959'. http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/EN/Treaties/Html/031.htm .. However the visa free travel only applies to those countries which have signed and ratified the agreement and it has gone into force. Most Schengen countries have done so but not all of them. http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/Commun/ChercheSig.asp?NT=031&CM=1&DF=21/02/2010&CL=ENG .. Greece is not signatory to the agreement and it does not accept the U.K. Convention Travel Document for visa free entry. http://www.greekembassy.org.uk/ConsularAffairs/ListofCountriesforVisa/tabid/147/language/en-US/Default.aspx .. You will need to apply for a visa prior to travel. http://www.greekembassy.org.uk/ConsularAffairs/MajorConsularIssues/VisasForeignCitizensOnly.aspx ..
