Order and presentation of the file

On a technical level, the application file for the Hellenic Republic must be presented in physical format before the corresponding consular section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece, strictly ordered according to the guidelines set for the national long-stay visa (Visa D). All documents that make up the folder must be valid and strictly comply with the individual requirements of apostille, legalized translation in applicable cases, and demonstrable liquid solvency.

The omission or defect of form in any of these legal instruments, including the lack of government endorsement for nationalities that require it, will lead to the automatic inadmissibility of the file. Overcoming this rigorous administrative audit is indispensable for the issuance of temporary residence, guaranteeing legal access to the seasonal labor market and allowing enrollment in the diverse academic offer available in the receiving country.
