Understanding the Visa

What is the Greece Visit Visa?

A Greece Schengen Visa (short-stay Type C visa) allows you to travel to Greece and move freely across the 29-country Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It's commonly used for:

  1. Tourism and holidays

  2. Visiting family and friends

  3. Short business visits

Proof of Funds

Minimum €50 per Day

Your last 3 months' bank statements need to clearly show sufficient funds — at least €50 for each day of your planned stay, on top of your mandatory €30,000 travel insurance.

DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

Greece Visit Visa Requirements

Two categories. Note the passport validity requirement — 3 months beyond your return date, not the 6 months most other countries ask for.

Main Documents

  1. Valid passport (at least 3 months beyond your planned return date)

  2. Completed Schengen visa application form

  3. Two recent passport-sized photographs (35×45mm)

  4. Proof of travel — confirmed round-trip flight booking or itinerary

  5. Proof of accommodation — hotel booking or host invitation letter

  6. Travel health insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage, valid across the Schengen Area)

  7. Letter of invitation, with host's ID or residence permit (if visiting family or friends)

Proof of Finances

  1. Bank statements from the last 3 months

  2. Minimum €50 per day of your planned stay

Not sure your documents are ready?

A passport that's valid for 6 months but not enough beyond your Greece return date, or insurance below €30,000, are common — and avoidable — reasons for delay. Start your application and we'll confirm your exact checklist.

THE APPLICATION

Why Greece Visit Visa applications get refused

Many Nigerians are refused not because they're ineligible, but because of avoidable presentation issues. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.

1

Passport Validity Too Short

Greece only requires 3 months beyond your return date — but if your passport doesn't clear that bar, your application won't proceed.

2

Insufficient Daily Funds

Your bank statements need to clearly show at least €50 per day of your planned stay.

3

Insufficient Insurance Coverage

Your travel insurance must meet the €30,000 minimum and cover your entire stay across the Schengen Area.

4

Incomplete Invitation Letter

If visiting family or friends, your host's letter needs to include a copy of their ID or residence permit.
