Greece Visa Cost Calculator

Most leisure travellers need only Greece's single-entry tourist visa — the $80 baseline everything else is measured against. The multi-entry tier buys repetition rather than duration: $120 covers repeated entries into Greece within the visa's validity window. Business visas cost 2.5× base ($200) because they clear a different review path: expect to attach an invitation letter from your Greece host company.

Transit visas are the bargain tier: $24 covers a layover in Greece of 24–72 hours depending on the rules attached to your nationality. Since most applicants for Greece apply through a consulate or the official portal, add courier and notary costs on top of the $80 fee when budgeting.

Paperwork comes before payment: passport with 6+ months' validity, a recent photo, Greece accommodation confirmations, and bank statements. Applications for Greece go in through a single designated channel per traveller; the consulate returns mixed-channel files unprocessed. Payment timing varies by channel: online by card for the Greece eVisa/ETA, or at application time by card or money order where a consulate handles the file.

No interview is needed for most tourist applications to Greece — the file speaks for itself unless something in it is missing. File 4–6 weeks out for Greece; express handling rescues late plans at +50%, which the calculator above prices for your group size.

Check the passport before anything else: under six months' validity or a full page count and Greece returns the application unprocessed. Greece's photo rule is the standard white-background print; bring a spare, because the application keeps the one you hand over. Three months of statements demonstrating $50–100 per day is the funds benchmark for Greece; scrub nothing, redact nothing.

Hotel bookings and the return ticket close the loop; Greece cross-checks the dates across all of them. Business applicants add the Greece host company's invitation; transit applicants add the confirmed onward ticket — those two categories fail on missing paperwork more than fee errors.

Count on one to three weeks in the standard queue; Greece publishes business-day estimates that exclude weekends and local holidays. Paying the 50% express surcharge converts Greece's weeks-long queue into days; on a $80 tourist visa that premium is $40. Greece officers refuse on documentation gaps first and eligibility second, so audit the checklist twice before paying.

Fix-then-refile is the normal path after a Greece denial; the fee is due again, so get the file right the second time. Consular calendars matter more than the published queue for Greece — local holidays on either side of the desk can add a week silently.
