Despite the attempts of the Greeks to leave the EU, which were not crowned with success, the republic to this day is a member of international education, and also enters the Schengen zone. That is why it is necessary to place permission to enter the territory of the country.

    How to get a visa to Greece, what documents you need to provide how much to pay for the provision of services and how long to wait for the result, you can find out by reading this article.

    Types of Greek Visas provided to Russians

    Since the Greek Republic enters the Schengen zone, to visit it, it is necessary to issue an appropriate Shengen visa, the type of which will depend on the target destination of the trip, as well as the validity period of the document.

    Types of permits:

    1. Tourist;
    2. Student;
    3. Guest;
    4. Business visa;
    5. Transit;
    6. National;
    7. Short-term.

    Let us dwell on the peculiarities of some of the above visas. Thus, the short-term visa is drawn up if the tourist is scheduled for a short journey, the duration of which does not exceed the month.

    A longer period of validity is characteristic of a national visa, on the basis of which you can stay in Greece from 100 to 360 days.

    The national visa is two types:

    1. The usual, allowing you to enter the country once and for a period of no more than 100 days;
    2. Multivisa. Based on the multivibuse, the traveler can be in the territory of an ancient state a maximum of 360 days, while the number of entry and exit is not limited.

    As for the remaining types of permits issued by the citizens of the Russian Federation to enter Greece, they are provided depending on the purpose of the journey. For example, the design of a tourist visa will be required if the purpose of the trip is a vacation, vacation; Guest visa is provided if you are going to visit relatives or close friends, which is confirmed by the invitation letter. Russian applicants planning to get an education in one of the Greek universities can enter the territory of the republic on the basis of a student visa, entrepreneurs who registered a business in Greece - on the basis of a business permission or business visa.

    In the event that the Greek Republic is just a transshipment point when moving the traveler to the third country, it will take transit visa.

If a sponsor is a relative of the traveler, it will be necessary to confirm the relative communications with it. Such a document, as a rule, is submitted by the unemployed citizens and the persons of the retirement age;

    Summer, suffering, continue the topic of visas. About me wrote earlier. Trend season of this year -. What documents do you need to obtain a visa? What will required for a minor child leaving one of the parents? What is the list of documents for the decoration of a Schengen visa to Greece unemployed? How to fill out the questionnaire?

    Why in my opinion you should not make a visa through travel agencies and tour operators? The reasons are two:
    - It will be a little, but more expensive.
    - You will almost certainly issue a visa to the dates. I do not know why - whether employees are too lazy to bother and ask for multivitz, or from the "evil" intent - it is profitable for them to make you visas for money every time.

    What papers do you need in different cases? I'll tell you about three situations of visa design for tourism purposes:
    1. A professional person who pays for his expenses independently
    2. Adultant non-working person whose trip pays sponsor
    3. A minor child leaving only one of the parents whose trip pays the sponsor
    Below are detailed information for each case.

    Visa for an adult working person


    List of documents with comments:

    1. 2 color photos 35x45 mm without a corner, the face size in the photo should be 30 mm in length. It is done in the photographer (you need to say that you need a photo for a visa, Greek Shengen) or right in the building of the visa center. The cost of 6 photos will be 200 rubles.
    With full requirements for photography, you can find (section "Preparation of the application -\u003e Picture Requirements") and. It is not necessary to glue anything anywhere, it is not even necessary to cut.

    Blank is available. The requirements indicate that you need to print on both sides of the paper, that is, there should be two sheets with text on both sides. In practice, the employees of the Center are printed by the questionnaires on four sheets and also quietly are accepted. The site has a good sample of filling the questionnaire to multivatize, according to which it is easy to navigate. The questionnaire will be detailed below. The only one, I recommend the filing date of the questionnaire to enter, already giving the documents to the employee: if you suddenly do not accept the documents on this day (for example, you have forgotten something), you will have to rewrite everything.

    3. An abroad passport, valid for at least three months after the estimated date (last) departure from the Schengen zone, having a minimum of two net pages and issued over the past ten years.

    4. Photocopies of turns of a foreign passport with marks, 2 or 4 reversal for one sheet A4. We also need copies of Schengen visas over the past three years from an old passport - if any, you have.

    6. Photocopies of all pages with internal passport marks, 2 or 4 reversal by one sheet A4.

    7. Medical traveler insurance for the entire period of the expected trip, valid in all countries Shengen and covering any expenses that may arise in connection with the return to their homeland for medical reasons, the need to provide urgent medical care, urgent treatment in hospital or death during the trip. The minimum insurance amount of € 30,000. Always make insurance for any trip abroad! In my opinion, this is not what you can be rented with impunity (). If you need insurance easier and cheaper, you can choose, for example, on the Kalep:

    For those who responsibly relate to their health, recommend insurance for travelers from TripInsurance ():

    Even if you bought a Turpaket with an insurance operator, from which, alas, it is impossible to refuse, do not be lazy to familiarize yourself with its terms: often they are extremely far from ideal. In this case, I recommend that you purchase insurance yourself, not for a visa, but for myself. If you bought the policy "alive", and do not print it from the site, then you need to remove a photocopy from it (if the policy is specified somewhat insured, remove the copy for each).

    8. Confirmation of accommodation (for example, invitation / confirmation of sponsorship from the inviting person if the guest involves living with him) a document from the institution providing accommodation, or any other relevant document indicating that accommodation is provided for, in accordance with the legislation of the Schengen member state ); If not applicable, the corresponding written description of the planned travel. By simple, reservation from the hotel. Easy is made on or any other similar resource providing official confirmation booking. Personally, I often use the rental service from the hosts AirbnB (you can familiarize yourself with it c). When buying a tour on your request, the booking confirmation will provide you with a tour operator.

    9. Photocopy / printout tickets in both directions. To search and buy tickets, I basically use the Aviasales service. If you have a Turpaket, tickets will provide you on request your tour operator.

    10. Help from the place of work on the branded form, with the print and signature of the responsible person. Get it in their accounting. The certificate should indicate the position and the amount of wages - it is very desirable that such was above 20 tr. Help is valid month from the date of issue.

    11. Financial guarantees. We are needed only if you have no help from work, or if you would not want to show it (for example, you have a low salary). Possible options:
    - Extract from the bank about the status of the Blanc with the seal;
    - certificate of purchasing currency;
    - For IP: a copy of the certificate of registration of IP / on registration with the tax, the tax declaration for the last period.
    The duration of the documents is a month from the date of issue. Financial guarantees should be worth 50 euros per person for each day of the trip. When buying a tour, where accommodation has already been paid, the amount may be less, but how much specifically it was not possible to find out.

    12. Consent to the processing of personal data. Issued and filled when submitting documents in the visa center.

    13. Visa collection of 35 euros (2485 rubles) + service collection of the visa center for services 1420 rubles \u003d approximately 3905 rubles. Keep in mind, payment for Greek Schengen takes only cash. From the payment of visa collection, disabled persons 1 and 2 groups are exempt, children under 12 years old and some other citizens (full list of reference).

    __________________________________________________

    Total cost of visa per adult person:
    - Visa registration 5005-6105 rubles (3905 fees, 900-2000 insurance, 200 photos, printing costs / photocopying - optional)

    Visa for adult unemployed


    ... whose trip is paid by the sponsor, in this case, the spouse. Only a close relative can speak sponsor - spouse, parent, guardian, adult child. Otherwise, it is easier to arrange a Schengen visa to Greece, having agreed with the sponsor and bringing his own financial guarantees as it were, the same statement from the bank account. To paint in detail I only have not previously discussed items:

    1. 2 color photos.

    2. Filled application form for visa.

    3. Stamp passport.

    4. Photocopies of all pages with marking passport + copies of Schengen visas over the past three years from the old passport.

    5. Russian internal passport.

    6. Photocopies of all pages with marks of the internal passport.

    7. Medical insurance.

    8. Confirmation of accommodation - hotel reservation.

    9. Photocopy / printout tickets in both directions.

    10. Sponsored letter in printed form with date and signature. Sample can be downloaded. Duration of the month.

    11. Help from the site of the sponsor (similar to personal certificate). The salary of the sponsor should be at least 20 thousand rubles for each sponsored. They say that 15 is enough, but it is better not to risk.

    12. Copy and original document confirming relationship with sponsor. For example, marriage certificate, birth certificate.

    14. Consent to the processing of personal data.

    15. Visa fees.

    Visa for a minor child


    We will analyze the most "heavy" case - the child goes only with one of the parents, his trip is paid by the sponsor:

    1. 2 color photos.

    2. Filled application form for visa.

    3. Stamp passport. Instead, the child can be entered into the parental passport with whom he leaves.

    4. Photocopies of all pages of an overseas passport + copies of Schengen visas over the past three years from an old passport - are needed only if a child has a separate passport.

    5. Birth certificate + its photocopy.

    6. Medical insurance.

    7. Confirmation of accommodation - hotel reservation.

    8. Photocopy / printout tickets in both directions.

    9. Sponsorship letter in printed form with date and signature.

    10. Help from the site of the sponsor. If a few sponsored several times, then the original + copies in the number of people.

    12. Copy and original document confirming relationship with sponsor. In this case, the individual document did not need.

    13. A copy of the first page of the Russian passport of the sponsor.

    14. Notarized permission to export a child from the remaining parent home + its photocopy. Now its cost in Nizhny Novgorod about 1,500 rubles. A very important point - when requesting multivibuses on a child, permission must be decorated for the entire estimated period of Schengen! That is, you want a visa for three years, make permission to all the countries of the Schengen Agreement from the date of the first departure by date + 3 years (for example, from August 1, 2016 to August 1, 2019). The permission is not necessary if you are the only parent of the child (dash in the birth certificate or a certificate from the registry office otherwise).

    15. A copy of the first page of the Russian passport of the second parent.

    16. Help from school / university - for schoolchildren and students. On vacation, especially summer, optional.

    17. Consent to the processing of personal data.

    18. Visa fees. Everything is difficult here.
    "Child up to 6 years old, his passport / partition to the passport of the parent, filing for a visa together with the parent: for free.
    - A child under 6 years old, his passport / entered the parental passport, feeding for a visa separately: service fee is 1420 rubles.
    "A child up to 12 years old, inscribed a parent's passport, feeding to a visa together with the parent: free.
    - Child up to 12 years old, his passport, feeding for a visa together with the parent: service fee is 1420 rubles.
    - A child up to 12 years old, his passport / entered into the parental passport, submitted to the visa separately: service fee is 1420 rubles.
    - A child up to 18 years old, his passport / entertained into the parental passport: visa collection of 35 euros (2485 rubles) + service fee of 1420 rubles.

    Since we made visas for two children, here's the cost for two different cases:
    - child up to 12 years old: visa decoration 1100-5120 rubles (0-1420 Service Collection, 0-1500 Notarized permission, 900-2000 Insurance, 200 photos, Printing costs / Photocopying - optional)
    - child up to 6 years old: visa registration 1100-3700 rubles (0-1500 Notarized permission, 900-2000 Insurance, 200 photos, printing / photocopying costs - optional).

It is most convenient to do this in advance at home, downloading and printing the questionnaire itself and a sample to fill it from the official website of the Greek visa center.

    My congratulations - You filled out the questionnaire!

    Schengen visa to Greece is independently drawn up in general, easy and simple. Collect full packages of documents, come to the visa center. If that, photos and photocopies can be made directly in place. At the entrance you will be given a ticket of the electronic queue and ask you to turn off the phone. With this coupon, you first issue the documents from the employee - it will be necessary to fill out consent to the processing of personal data and a couple of additional securities. Then, with the same coupon, pay for fees at the checkout. For those who did not pass biometric data earlier: after payment, everything with the same tumbler go to a special booth to be photographed and remove fingerprints. Everything, the quest passed. Children at this time can stack their leisure from a special table with toys.

    The origin of a visa to Greece is very quickly: we have passed the documents on Friday, and next Friday they have already returned back to the center. You can track the movement of passports on the website of the visa center at a special number that will be issued when paying. To receive capture your passport and birth certificate.

    In our experience. The Greeks cleared and, as promised, gave three-year adult visas (there were long Spanish Schongen and Greek for dates) and even a baby (without Schengen, naturally). But the eldest child received a visa to the dates, since we had an incorrectly decorated permission to export from the second parent (who would know or prompted in advance? ..). In general, be careful. I hope this article will be useful to you, will save from mistakes, and each applicant's passport will decorate fresh schengen visa to Greece alone "Made" with your own hands. :about)

    I wish you success in getting a visa!
