Hello everyone, and welcome to Global Scholarships, your go-to channel for all things related

to studying abroad. In this episode, we're going to teach you the steps on applying for a student visa in Greece
0:15
Greece is a great place for vacations, with its beautiful beaches and historic sites
0:21
But did you know, they also have great universities? It is home to several excellent universities with affordable tuition fees
0:29
In fact, non-EU students only pay about $1,780. So if you're considering studying in Greece and happen to be from a country where a student
0:39
visa is required, here's a step-by-step guide on how to get a Greek student visa
0:45
Step number one, complete the necessary documents. Once you've applied and accepted a place in your host university, you'll need to start
0:54
gathering the visa application requirements. These include your application form, which typically includes information about the name
1:02
of your host institution, its contact details, intended start date, and end of study date
1:08
Additionally, you'll need to provide a copy of your passport. It should be valid for at least three months after your return date, and has at least two
1:17
blank pages available. You'll also need to submit two passport-sized photos printed on a light background
1:25
Make sure that you're looking straight at the camera and giving a neutral expression
1:30
Head coverings are not allowed in the picture unless for religious purposes
1:35
That said, your facial features should still be visible in the picture
1:40
Another requirement you should prepare is proof of registration or enrollment. An official acceptance letter is an example, as it shows you're allowed to attend a course there
1:51
You can also present a receipt, as it is proof you've already paid the necessary fees to
1:55
start your studies in your host university. But that is not all
2:01
You'll also need to provide the following documents. If you're under 18 years old, you'll need to complete and submit a consent form
2:13

international education. Step number two. Schedule an interview appointment with the nearest consulate or embassy
2:38
You'll need to set up an appointment as walk-in applications are not accepted in Greece consulates
2:43
and embassies. During your appointment, you'll need to submit the requirements and pay the visa application
2:50
fee of 90 euros or 96 US dollars. You'll also need to get your image and fingerprint scanned in case you haven't applied for a
3:00
Schengen visa within the last five years. Step number three. Visa application processing
3:09
Processing of visa usually takes about six days, but it may take as long as three months
3:16
If your application is accepted, you'll receive your visa and you can fly to Greece and settle in
3:23
And that's it. Remember that within 40 days of arriving in Greece, you need to apply for a residence
3:29
permit if you'll be staying in the country for more than a year
3:34
Applying for a residence permit requires filling up a form online and scheduling an appointment
3:39
with the police station in your area. You'll need to submit the same documents you provided during the visa application process
3:46
and pay a 150 euro fee. By following the steps we've outlined in this video, you can obtain your Greek student visa
3:56
and start your journey in this beautiful Mediterranean country. Remember to gather all the necessary documents, schedule your interview appointment, pay the
4:06
visa fee, and be patient as you wait for your application to be processed
4:13
We hope this video has been helpful and wish you all the best on your journey in Greece
