Student Visa Requirements for Greece

If you are a citizen of the European Union (EU), you do not need a visa to study in Greece. However, non-EU citizens are required to obtain a student visa (type D) before beginning their studies. This visa must be obtained from the nearest Greek embassy or consulate.

To apply for a student visa, you will need an official acceptance letter from a Greek university that is certified by the Greek Ministry of Education. It is advisable to contact the Greek embassy in your country or visit the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for a comprehensive list of required documents and detailed application instructions.

As part of the application process, an interview at the Greek embassy or consulate is mandatory.

Regardless of nationality, all students must provide proof of health insurance, demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves during their stay, and possess a valid passport.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, applicants should consult official Greek government resources or their local Greek embassy.
