Greece is a country that Russians need a Schengen visa to enter. The advantage of this document is that, going to Greece, you can visit several European countries at once.
Instructions
Step 1
You can apply for a visa to Greece, adhering to the standard requirements that apply when creating an entry document for any Schengen country. You will need to present a Russian passport, international passport, two 3x4 cm photos, a questionnaire, confirmation of hotel reservation, round-trip air tickets, as well as documents confirming your financial viability. Remember that at least 90 days must remain until the expiration date of your passport after returning to Russia. In addition, it is undesirable that in your passport there was a mark about visiting Northern Cyprus, in this case you may not be given Schengen.
Step 2
You can apply for a Greek visa through a travel agency, for this, in addition to the above documents, you will need to present a photocopy of the functional pages of the Russian passport, as well as a certificate from your place of work, which should indicate your salary, position and contact information of the organization. If you work in a non-governmental structure, you will need to submit a copy of the registration certificate of the individual entrepreneur. If you are a private entrepreneur, you will need to submit a copy of the registration certificate of the individual entrepreneur, as well as a tax return and a duplicate of the certificate that your company is tax registered.
Step 3
If you are currently not working anywhere (study, retirement, etc.), in addition to the standard package of documents, you will need to submit a photocopy of your student card or pension card, as well as a “sponsor” application from a person who is your closest relative. In the last document, the relative will have to indicate that it is he who sponsors your trip to Greece, while this application will require a certificate from the relative's place of work and a photocopy of a document confirming the relationship between you.
Step 4
Have you decided to relax in Greece with your whole family? Then make sure to provide the travel agency with the birth certificate of your children and copies of all completed pages of your internal passports of the Russian Federation.

The paperwork takes about 14-30 days, after which you can go to rest.
