Greece to Use Ankle Monitors for Migrants with Rejected Asylum Claims

08:21 12/8/2025 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

Greece plans to require migrants whose asylum claims have been rejected to wear electronic ankle monitors to ensure they comply with deportation orders, the country's migration minister has announced. 

Migration Minister Thanos Plevris said the measure is part of a new, tougher legislative package that will be submitted to parliament

next month and is expected to be implemented before the end of the year. 

The reforms will also criminalize non-compliance with deportation orders, carrying mandatory jail terms.

“The use of electronic monitoring will make it clear that the options have narrowed,” Mr. Plevris told state-run ERT radio.

The government is also considering offering a 2,000-euro “deportation bonus” to those who agree to leave willingly. 

The new policies are part of Greece's conservative government's hard-line stance on migration, which has drawn criticism from human rights groups.
