Do I need a visa for Greece from Tunisia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Tunisian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Greece. Greece must be your main destination within the Schengen area.
Tunisia is not on the list of countries exempt from the Schengen visa. A Tunisian traveller planning to visit Athens, Santorini or the Aegean islands must therefore obtain a visa before departure. This guide summarises the steps; always confirm the details with the Greek consular authorities.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Tunisian citizens must obtain a Schengen Type C visa before travelling to Greece for a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. As Greece is your main destination, the application must be lodged with its consular representation and not with another Schengen country.
How and where to apply
In Tunisia, Greek visa applications are handled by the competent consulate or its outsourcing partner (often VFS Global in Tunis). Book an appointment online, complete the Schengen form, and attend in person to submit your file and provide biometric data (fingerprints and photo).
Documents and fees
The file includes a valid passport (at least three months' validity beyond your intended departure and two blank pages), the signed form, a recent passport photo, travel insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, an itinerary and evidence of sufficient funds. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult, excluding service charges. Check the exact amount with the official source before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days, with longer waits during the busy summer season for Greece. Apply no earlier than six months before departure and at least 15 days beforehand. Allow a comfortable margin in case additional documents are requested.
Common mistakes
Common errors include insurance below €30,000, a passport with too little remaining validity, insufficient financial evidence, and failing to book an appointment early in peak season. Do not buy non-refundable tickets or reservations before your visa is granted.
