Important notice for visa applicants

Dear Applicants,

All individuals who wish to travel to Greece must consult the following link travel.gov.gr and follow the required rules.

The Visa Application Center in Kathmandu is operational from 08:00am until 12:00pm and from 13:00pm until 15:00pm from Monday until Friday accepting applicants upon online appointment and as walk-ins. You can book your appointment here.

Important Note: Kindly note that applications for a Greek Long-term, National D type visa will be accepted by GVC World, only by invitation after a prior approval of the Embassy of Greece is obtained by the applicant. Once the cases are considered by the Embassy of Greece for further processing, the applicants will be invited by the GVC World Visa Application Centre for Greece in New Delhi to submit their applications.

Applicants can avoid a return to the VAC and have their passports returned via courier service at an additional cost that will be kept to the minimum.

IMPORTANT: PROCESSING TIME OF APPLICATIONS FOR SCHENGEN VISA
Dear Applicant, on instructions of the Greek Consulate in New Delhi, there are important time constraints as to the granting of Schengen visas. For more information please click here.

Kindly be informed that Visa applications may take up to 15 days to process. Some applications may require further processing due to consultation from other Schengen countries and therefore the processing time may be extended up to 45 calendar days. Visa applications should be lodged no later than 15 calendar days prior to departure.

As is foreseen in the Schengen Visa Code, namely that applicants can apply for their visa to Greece 6 months before the actual travel, and as there are always difficulties in finding a last-minute appointment, GVC World is urging prospective travelers seeking a Schengen visa to Greece to submit their applications now and not later.

Please note that, if however, you do decide to apply for a visa later than 15 calendar days prior to your departure, you are at risk of your application not being processed in time.
