Discover visa requirements for your trip
Haitian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Greece for tourism. It must be applied for before departure at the competent Greek representation or its service partner.
Greece is part of the Schengen area and Haiti is not visa-exempt, so a Type C short-stay visa is required for a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The application is filed in your country of residence, with Greece as your main destination or first point of entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Haitian citizen you must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for tourist travel to Greece, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The visa is valid across the whole Schengen area, but the application must target Greece when it is your main destination or, failing that, your first country of entry into the area.
How and where to apply
Apply at the Greek consular representation responsible for your place of residence, or at its external partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact depending on the country). As Greece has no embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haitian applicants are usually served by a regional consulate or a visa centre — check the competent post on mfa.gr. Book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form and attend in person to give biometric data.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date with two blank pages, the signed application form, a recent passport photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, excluding the partner's service charge. Confirm the exact amount and any reduced rates on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply well in advance but no earlier than six months before departure. Keep your itinerary, bookings and insurance consistent, since a clear file speeds up the decision. Check any health entry requirements and keep a full copy of every document.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply in the wrong country: if Greece is not your main destination, the consulate may reject the file. Do not omit the medical insurance of at least €30,000, a frequent cause of refusal. Check the passport's remaining validity and blank pages, do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted, and avoid incomplete financial evidence.
Best time to travel
Greece has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The optimal travel periods are generally from April to June and September to October, when the weather is pleasant and less rainy. It is advisable to avoid the peak summer months of July and August, which can be very hot and crowded.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in Greece are Elefthérios-Venizélos Airport in Athens, serving the capital and surrounding areas, and Thessaloniki Makedonia Airport for the northern region. Other airports like Heraklion and Rhodes also handle international flights, mainly for island destinations.
Documents to prepare
For a consular visa application, a valid passport with at least six months of validity beyond the planned departure date is required. Additionally, a return ticket, proof of accommodation, travel insurance covering the entire stay, and any specific documents requested by the embassy or consulate should be prepared.
