Planning to visit Greece? Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa. From Schengen tourist visas to business visas and extensions, I help foreigners navigate the Greek visa system smoothly and avoid common pitfalls that lead to rejections.
Greece is part of the Schengen Area, which means visa requirements depend on your nationality. EU/EEA citizens don't need a visa. Citizens of the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and many other countries can visit visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Citizens of other countries need a Schengen visa before traveling.
Extending a Schengen visa is possible but only in exceptional circumstances - serious illness, force majeure, or important personal reasons. You must apply before your current visa expires at the local Aliens Bureau. For longer stays, you should apply for a residence permit instead of extending a tourist visa.
If your visa application is rejected, you have the right to appeal the decision. The rejection letter must state the reasons. I can help you understand what went wrong, prepare a stronger application, or file an appeal if the rejection was unjustified.
I assist clients from initial consultation through successful visa issuance. First, I assess your situation and determine the right visa type. Then I help you gather and prepare all required documents, ensuring nothing is missing or incorrectly formatted. For complex cases, I prepare cover letters explaining your circumstances. If needed, I can accompany you to appointments or communicate with authorities on your behalf. My goal is a successful visa on the first attempt.
