GREECE

Yes. Indian passport holders must obtain a Greece Tourist Visa before traveling. Since Greece is part of the Schengen Area, Indian travelers need to apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C), which allows short-term visits for tourism, leisure, or family visits. Instaviza helps Indian travelers with step-by-step guidance to apply for a Greece Tourist Visa quickly and accurately.

For tourism purposes, Indian citizens should apply for a Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C). This visa allows you to stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Instaviza assists with selecting the right visa type based on your purpose — whether it’s tourism, attending events, or visiting family/friends in Greece.

The average processing time for a Greece Tourist Visa is 15–20 working days after submission at the VFS or Greek Consulate. However, during peak travel seasons, it may take longer. Instaviza ensures your application is filed correctly and well in advance, reducing the risk of delays.

Indian citizens must submit the following documents for a Greece Tourist Visa:

• Valid Indian passport (minimum 6 months validity, 2 blank pages)
• Completed Schengen visa application form
• Recent passport-size photos (as per Schengen specifications)
• Cover letter explaining travel purpose and itinerary
• Confirmed hotel bookings or invitation letter from a host in Greece
• Round-trip flight reservations
• Last 6 months’ bank statements showing financial stability
• Income proof (ITR/salary slips/CA certificate)
• Overseas travel insurance covering €30,000
• Proof of employment/business registration (if self-employed)

 Instaviza reviews your documents carefully to ensure your visa file is strong and error-free.

The visa fee for a Greece Tourist Visa (Schengen short-stay) is around €90 (₹9,000 approx.) for adults and €45 (₹4,500 approx.) for children (6–12 years). Children under 6 years are exempt. In addition, VFS service charges apply. Instaviza offers transparent pricing with no hidden costs and full visa application assistance.

No. Indian citizens cannot fully apply online. You must submit the application in person at the nearest VFS Global Greece Visa Application Center in India. However, Instaviza makes the process simple by assisting you in filling forms, organizing documents, scheduling your VFS appointment, and guiding you throughout.

Yes. Since Greece is a Schengen member state, a Greece Tourist Visa allows you to travel to all 29 Schengen countries including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and more — as long as your main destination or first entry point is Greece. Instaviza helps you create a travel itinerary that complies with Schengen rules.

Indian travelers can stay in Greece and other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period under the Schengen Tourist Visa. Multiple-entry options are also available if you plan to re-enter Greece or other Schengen countries. Instaviza helps you choose the right visa type based on your travel frequency.

Some common reasons for rejection are:

• Incomplete or incorrect documentation
