Greece reopened the Evzoni border crossing with North Macedonia to EU citizens and from 14 other countries which are on a list approved by EU authorities. All travelers arriving to Greece are required to fill a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least 48 hours before check-in. The form is part of the country's planning for protection against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and will allow authorities to create barcodes for travelers so that testing of new arrivals can be targeted.

Greece announced it will open its border for Macedonian citizens starting August 17, provided they show a negative recent coronavirus test.
The announcement aims to save what little can be saved from the summer season, during which Macedonian tourists are important guests in the northern Greek seaside towns. Previously, Bulgaria opened its border to Macedonian citizens under similar terms. Other EU member states keep their borders closed for Macedonian citizens.
