Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indians need a visa for Greece?
Yes, Indian passport holders need a valid visa, specifically a Schengen visa (type-c), to travel to Greece for short stays like tourism, business, family visits, or other approved activities for up to 90 days within 180 days. Greece does not offer visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry for Indian citizens.
What is the Greece tourist visa validity for Indians?

What is the difference between a single-entry and a multiple-entry Schengen visa?
Single-entry Schengen visa allows you to enter the Schengen Area only once. After leaving, you cannot re-enter, even if the visa is still valid.
Multiple-entry visa, on the other hand, allows you to enter and exit the Schengen Area multiple times within the visa’s validity period (as long as you do not exceed the 90-day stay limit within 180 days)
