Whitewashed villages on Santorini, ancient ruins in Athens and island-hopping across the Aegean, Greece is one of the most popular Schengen destinations for UAE residents. Because Greece is a Schengen member, a Greece visa from Dubai follows the standard Schengen short-stay rules.
A Greece Schengen visa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen area. If Greece is your main destination or first point of entry, you apply through the Greek Consulate or its visa application centre in the UAE.
You will typically need a passport valid for at least three months beyond your departure, a completed application form, biometric photos, confirmed flights and accommodation, travel medical insurance, bank statements and proof of UAE residence.
Schengen visas are usually processed within about 15 calendar days, though it can take longer in peak season, so apply early. The visa fee is the standard Schengen rate.
Visa Doctor prepares and reviews your Greece Schengen visa application for residents in Dubai and the UAE, maximising your chances of approval so you can plan your Greek getaway with confidence.
