Greece Schengen Visa
Greece is one of the 25 countries that is part of the Schengen Agreement. The countries in this agreement banded together to create special rules and regulations for the issuances of visas.
While a lot of people can travel to Greece without needing to get a visa, citizens of some countries who intend to go to Greece for a short stay (less than 90 days) will need to get Schengen Visa for Greece.
The following types of visas fall into this category
- Greece Tourist Visa

- Greece Family Visit Visa
- Greece Official Visa
- Greece Sports Visa
- Greece Medical Visit Visa
- Greece Student Visa
- Greece Transit Visa
- Greece Transport Visa

- Each consulate or embassy will have different application submission instructions.
