Indians planning a trip to Greece can now resume their visa process, as Global Visa Center World (GVCW) has announced the reopening of Greece Visa Application Centres across India. In an official statement, GVCW said that effective 12 February 2026, all Visa Application Centres for Greece in India will resume operations. Applicants have been advised to book their appointments through the official platform and ensure that all required documentation is prepared before visiting the centres. GVCW is the authorised service provider for Greece visas in India.
Travellers need to complete the online visa application and visit a Visa Application Centre for biometrics and document submission. They must first identify whether they require a short-stay Schengen visa, for tourism, business, or visiting family for up to 90 days, or a long-stay visa for work or study. The application form should be filled online through the GVCW website. Applicants must carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended travel date with at least two blank pages, two recent passport-sized photographs, confirmed return flight tickets, accommodation proof, travel insurance with minimum coverage of €30,000 valid across all Schengen countries, bank statements for the last three to six months, salary slips, Income Tax Returns, and a cover letter explaining the purpose of travel.
Appointments at GVCW Visa Application Centres in cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and others must be booked in advance. Personal appearance is mandatory to submit biometric data, including fingerprints. Applicants must submit their application along with all documents and pay the applicable visa fee. The total cost, including service charges, typically ranges between ₹8,000 and ₹14,890 depending on the services selected. Visa application status can be tracked online through the GVCW website.
Applications can be submitted up to six months before the intended travel date, and processing usually takes around 15 days. Travellers are advised to apply well in advance to allow for possible delays. Authorities have also clarified that visa requirements and fees are subject to change, and applicants should verify the latest information on the official GVCW portal before proceeding.
