A Greece visa is required for most countries throughout the world. For avid travelers who want to get out and see the beautiful islands hugging the Mediterranean Sea, a visa may be required.
Citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Norway, Switzerland and all EU countries do not have to pay visa fees. They can stay and study up to 90 days in Greece without a visa.
There's a simple differentiation between the two visa options: business and tourism. The first is needed if the purpose of your visit is to primarily function for business, the second if you are heading on a vacation to Greece.
For the aforementioned countries, all that is needed to visit is a valid passport. For those from other countries, a passport-sized photo, proof of sufficient funds, hotel reservations, travel itinerary, the visa fee and even a letter of reference are amongst the potential paperwork required.
Spending time as a student in Greece is also another option. This requires a separate application, submitted along with health and criminal records, a letter from an educational institute, a letter from the student, a copy of your passport and even a letter from a parent or tutor.
The actual cost of a Greece Tourist Visa is somewhere between $25 to $40 USD. It depends on your country of origin and any extra fees required for documents and processing.
