Eea Family member need a visa for Greece?

[mick5]

Hi i have " Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National" visa on my passport, me any my girl friend(partner European) booked holidays in Greece on first week of august assuming i dont need Greece visa as long as we travel together,Last month i went Malta with my girl friend with out visa no problem at all.
Just to be on a safe side i sent mail to Greece Embassy london to make sure i dont need visa and to my surprise i got replied that i do need visa even if i have "Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National" visa on my passport i dont need visa if we are married and having Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National on my passport.
On a website Greece visa section it says Family members of EU/EEA/CH nationals who are holders of the relevant British residence documentation do not require a visa in order to enter Greece, under the condition they are accompanied by the EU citizen or they are going to join him/her.

Shall i apply for visa or take a chance?

Mick5, I think we've conversed on this subject before. You do not need a visa for the circumstances described. You've done it before and can do it again. The law applies across Europe.

Hi Mick5, I'm travelling to Greece next month, and bothered with the same question. Did you manage to enter into Greece successfully?
