Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to visit Greece. The standard fee is about €90 for an adult and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
An Uzbek traveller planning to visit Greece for tourism must obtain a uniform Schengen visa before departure. Greece must be the main destination (or first point of entry) of the trip for the application to be lodged with it. The file is submitted at the Greek consulate or its outsourcing partner in Uzbekistan.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Uzbekistan is not visa-exempt for the Schengen area. A short-stay Type C visa is required for a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Greece will only issue the visa if it is your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area.
How and where to apply
The Uzbek applicant lodges the application at the Greek consulate or, most commonly, at the partner visa centre (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) serving Uzbekistan. You must book an appointment, complete the Schengen form, and appear in person for fingerprinting (biometrics).
Documents and fees
Have ready a valid passport (valid at least three months beyond your planned departure), the signed form, a compliant photo, accommodation and return-flight bookings, proof of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult, plus any service fee charged by the partner centre.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply as early as possible (up to six months before departure) and at least two to three weeks ahead. A consistent itinerary, insurance valid across the whole Schengen area, and clear financial evidence strengthen the file.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes are applying to the wrong Schengen state (Greece must be the main destination), insufficient or too-early-expiring insurance, and a passport with too little validity. Verify the exact fee and the competent partner centre on the official source before you lodge your application.
