With its gorgeous statues, stunning nature and eye candy perfect for sharing on Snapchat and Instagram, this romantic destination attracts many tourists each year.

If you are planning a trip soon, are confused about the Greece visa costs, and don’t know where to apply, here’s a hassle-free guide to getting a Greece visa with ACKO.

As an Indian national, you will require a visa to visit Greece. The type of visa that you need depends on the purpose of your visit - whether it is for tourism, business, work, or studies. Greece is a member of the Schengen Area, which is a union of 27 European countries, and to get there, you need a visa before your trip.

It is important to know about the different types of visas that Greece offers you as an Indian tourist. These visas are broadly classified under three labels based on the length of the stay and are further divided by the purpose of the stay. Labels A and B are transit visas, while Label C is for short-term stays, and Label D is a long-term visa for extended stays in the European nation.

While there are different ‘labels’ for Schengen visas depending on the duration of stay, label C is the most commonly applied as it covers short-term tourist stays, business visits, family reunions, and other types. This label can be applied for a maximum of 90 days in the Schengen area.

If you're primarily travelling to the Schengen region as a tourist to take in the sights and experience the well-known European attractions, you must apply for this visa.

This visa is ideal for you if the purpose of your visit is business and you will conduct business in the Schengen area. It is necessary to have a copy of the invitation letter that your sponsoring company has issued.

If you have a connecting flight through Greece airport, you can apply for a transit visa, which will be valid for a single journey.
