Greece is one of the most popular countries in Europe for tourists, students and entrepreneurs. Rich historical heritage, picturesque islands, mild climate and affordable prices attract travelers from all over the world. However, to enter the country, citizens of many countries, including Russia, Ukraine and some others, need to obtain a visa. In most cases, we are talking about a Schengen visa, which gives the right to visit not only Greece, but also other countries of the Schengen zone. Golden Visa Greece is one of the most common visas.
What procedures do you need to go through?
Obtaining a visa to Greece is associated with compliance with certain rules and requirements. The most common type of tourist visa is category C, which allows you to stay in the country for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This document is suitable for short-term trips – vacations, sightseeing tours, visiting relatives or friends. To apply for a visa, you must collect a package of documents in advance and submit an application to a visa center or consulate. Greca House Real Estate allows you to obtain a visa to Greece through the registration of real estate, which simplifies the process of applying for a residence permit under the Golden Visa program for foreign investors. Buying property for Greek Golden Visa should be done through special agencies or licensed companies.
What documents are needed?
First of all, a valid passport is required, the validity of which exceeds the end date of the intended trip by at least three months. The passport must contain at least two blank pages. A questionnaire completed in English or Greek, as well as a current photo of the established sample, must be provided. In addition, you will need medical insurance valid in the Schengen area, with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros, and documents confirming the purpose of the trip – hotel reservations, travel itinerary, an invitation from an individual or organization.
Particular attention is paid to financial documents. It is necessary to confirm the availability of sufficient funds for the period of stay – these can be bank statements, a card statement, a certificate of income from work. If the trip is paid for by a third party, a written commitment and confirmation of his financial solvency will be required. For students – a certificate from the educational institution, for pensioners – a pension certificate.
