All travellers should get in touch with the appropriate office, well in advance to their scheduled trip, as changes take place quite often and might not be posted yet on the site.
WARNING !!! When travelling to Greece on a tourist visa you are required to have travel insurance that covers you in case of medical or other emergencies for the duration of your trip.

Greece has ratified the Schengen Agreement concerning the visa issues. The Schengen Agreement covers the following ten member-states of the European Union: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
For holders of regular passports of the following countries who wish to visit Greece and stay up to 3 months NO visa is required:

Visa is also required for members of mercantile marine vessels that hold valid regular Brazilian and Polish passports.
If you hold a Permit to Re-enter the United States or a Refugee Travel document issued by the USA you do need a visa.
If you are holder of a diplomatic, official, special, business (e.t.c.) passport, please contact the Visa Department at the Consulate that has jurisdiction over your area.
Where should you apply?

- If you intend to visit only one Schengen country, you must apply at the Embassy or Consulate of that particular country.

- If you intend to visit several Schengen countries, you must apply for a visa at the Embassy or the Consulate of the country which is your main destination.

- If you intend to visit several Schengen countries but not have a main destination, you should apply for a visa at the Embassy or the Consulate of the country which is your first point of entry.

- If you do not need a visa for the Schengen country which is your main destination or first point of entry, please note that you may require a visa for other Schengen countries you wish to visit. You should then apply at the Embassy or the Consulate of the first Schengen country which does require you to have a visa.

All applicants have to appear in person for the interview and submit the application with the documentation needed, at the Consulate Office of Greece.
Those who can not appear in person for the interview due to a serious reason (e.g. long distance) have to send either a letter or a fax to the Consulate Office explaining the reason/s and asking for an exception. A consular employee will inform the applicants accordingly, by phone.
