A short-term Greece visa, also called a Schengen visa (Type C), allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is typically issued for tourism, short business trips, or family visits. Depending on your travel needs, it may be granted as single, double, or multiple entry. In contrast, a long-term Greece visa (Type D), also known as a national visa, is intended for stays longer than 90 days. It is suitable for purposes like study, work, or family reunification and often serves as the pathway to obtaining a Greek residence permit.
