The processing time for a short-term Greece Schengen visa is generally around 15 calendar days from the date of submission, provided all required documents are complete. However, this period can extend up to 30–45 days during peak travel seasons, when applications require additional checks, or if further clarification is needed. Long-term national visas may take longer, depending on the purpose, such as work, study, or family reunification. To avoid last-minute complications, it is recommended that you apply at least three weeks before your planned trip, though earlier applications provide more flexibility in case of delays.
