Do I need a visa for Greece from Belarus?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belarusian nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to visit Greece for tourism. There is no exemption or electronic authorisation for this route.
Belarus is not among the countries exempt from a visa for the Schengen Area, of which Greece is a member. A Belarusian traveller must therefore obtain a Schengen Type C visa before departing for Athens, Thessaloniki or the islands. Greece must be your main destination (or first point of entry) for the application to be admissible at its consular services.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Belarusian national must hold a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to enter Greece as a tourist, valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Greece issues this visa when it is the main destination of the trip, meaning the country where you will spend the most time, or your first point of entry into the Schengen Area.
How and where to apply
Book an appointment with the Greek consulate responsible for your place of residence in Belarus, or with its outsourcing partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact depending on where you lodge). Lodging is in person because biometric data (fingerprints) are collected. Assemble the file, complete the Schengen form and attend the appointment with the full set of documents.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport (at least three months beyond the intended departure date and issued within the last ten years), the signed form, a recent passport photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, an accommodation booking, a return ticket and proof of funds. The visa fee is €90 for an adult (reduced for children aged 6 to 12).
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 calendar days but can extend to 45 days in high season or if additional review is required. You may lodge at the earliest six months before travel and at the latest 15 days before. Book your appointment early and present an itinerary consistent with Greece as the main destination.
Common mistakes
Common errors include applying to the wrong country when Greece is not the main destination, taking out insufficient insurance (below €30,000), presenting a passport that is too old, or providing financial evidence inconsistent with the length of stay. Check the current fee and the exact document list on the official site before lodging.
