The duration for which Greek passports remain valid is to be doubled to 10 years, Citizen Protection Minister Takis Theodorikakos announced while speaking on SKAI television on Thursday, ANA reports.
Regarding the issue of passports, he noted that Greece was one of a handful of countries in the EU and the world whose passports lasted just five years.
“Bureaucracy is lessened for Greek citizens, and especially Greeks abroad. Police forces are freed up. It is a situation from which both the state and Greek citizens will benefit…a great convenience for citizens and the Hellenic Police,” he pointed out.
