Do I need a visa for Greece from Bangladesh?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Bangladeshi nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Greece for tourism. The adult fee is €90 and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
Bangladesh is not among the countries exempt from the Schengen visa, so a Bangladeshi traveller must obtain a visa before travelling to Greece. The Type C visa allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Greece handles the application through its mission and its authorised partner responsible for Bangladesh.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Bangladeshi passport have no Schengen exemption and must apply for a short-stay (Type C) visa before any tourist trip to Greece. The visa covers stays of no more than 90 days per 180-day period. Greece must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area.
How and where to apply
Applications are lodged with the Greek embassy or its authorised visa partner (for example VFS Global) responsible for Bangladesh, usually in Dhaka. Book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form and attend in person to submit your file and give biometric data (fingerprints and photo).
Documents and fees
Bring a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure and with at least two blank pages, the signed form, two recent photos, travel insurance covering a minimum of €30,000 in medical and repatriation costs, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and proof of funds (bank statements, employment letter). The visa fee is €90 for an adult. Confirm the exact amount and payment methods with the official source before applying.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; file your application at least three weeks before departure and up to six months ahead. Depending on your stopovers, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required on entry to the Schengen area, so keep your international vaccination card up to date. A complete and consistent file, backed by strong ties to Bangladesh (employment, family, property), makes the review easier.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not lodge the application with another Schengen country when Greece is your main destination, as a refusal is likely. Avoid insurance below €30,000, weak proof of return or unexplained funds. Do not book your appointment too late, as slots in Dhaka fill up quickly. Always check the current requirements on the official source before finalising your file.
