How long should I wait for a Greek visa
The visa time is normally distributed, that is, there are several fast and slow visas, with more in the middle.
short time: five working days is relatively fast, for example, there will be delivery on the 1st, receipt on the 2nd, and delivery on the 3rd.
normal time: 5-1 working days, signed at sunrise; Normal within 15 working days.
long time: occasionally, some people wait for more than 15 working days every year.
In recent years, the longest annual visa time reported by island friends is as follows:
Temporary record in 218: 26 natural days (16 working days), gyoku: Xi 'an, March 23, 218.
record in 217: 1 month and 4 days (more than 2 working days), difficult sugar: Beijing District, signed the contract on March 17, 217.
216 record: 26 days and 17 working days; Yuanxing: Beijing Territorial District, signed on April 25th, 216.
record in p>215: 1 month and 13 days; Many islands: Beijing Territorial District, signed on March 9, 215.
Record in p>214: 26 natural days; Uneasy Mao: Shanghai Consular District, signed on March 5, 214.
by the way, how long should the Greek visa be issued in advance?
the earliest delivery time is 3 months before departure, but some students can't deliver their visas so early because of passport problems, information problems or time problems, so it is recommended to deliver their visas at least 1.5 months in advance. You can look at the longest record above and think it is very safe to advance 1.5 months. If it is still late, it is possible to reserve 15 working days with high probability. If it is only within 1 working days, although there is a check-out, the risk is relatively high.
How to check the progress of Greek visa
Telephone consultation of visa center: it will take 15 working days to check the progress!
That is to say, if you issued your visa on May 1 and haven't issued it three weeks later, it is possible to make a phone call, but even if you do, you can only tell you that the information is still at the embassy or being returned to the visa center.

It doesn't show the progress according to the daily progress, so you don't need to brush the progress every day after signing. You usually update the progress in the afternoon, and you don't have to go to work in the morning, noon and evening, which wastes time and makes you more anxious. If you are particularly worried, it is recommended to check it for the first time 1-2 days after signing the contract. If you are already on trial, don't check it every day, and check it again after 5 working days. If it is soon, the result may already be there; If it is still on trial, you can check it again within five working days.
If you take it yourself, you can get it back to the visa center, but there is no notice to pick it up. I suggest calling first to confirm it, and then picking it up if possible. Because it is possible that some follow-up work of the visa center has not been completed, although it has been returned, it can't be taken away (some students went to get it too quickly and didn't get it before, so it was a waste of time)
: visa process
1. Make clear the country you are going to Greece. For authoritative explanation, please consult the Greek Embassy in China and the Greek Visa Center. Official website can be found in Baidu's full name.
2. Make clear what materials are needed for a visa and make a list.
3. Make clear how each material is prepared, who needs to distribute it and how to distribute it.
4. after the materials are ready, I will go to the Greek visa center to issue visas, fingerprint and take photos.
5. Wait for the visa result and the phone call.
6. If the result comes out, the visa will be issued or refused, and the passport will be collected or mailed.
: necessary materials
1. Original passport, two copies of the first page of the passport and one copy of the record page.
2. Photograph, 3cm*4cm, taken in the last six months. Other Schengen countries, such as France, are all 2-inch photos of 3.5*4.5cm, so if you don't know whether your photos meet the requirements, you'd better go to the photo studio to take a recent photo, because if you use photos taken many years ago or refined in the past, it may be inconsistent with the photos taken at the scene, increasing the risk of visa refusal.
3. the application form can be downloaded from the Greek visa center official website, filled in manually or printed by computer. It should be filled in English. If both the last page and the penultimate page have signatures, handwritten signatures are required, and Chinese and passport names can be the same. If you don't know how to fill it out, you can download a template from the network management and follow suit.
4. Copy of household registration book, including all content pages.
5. Copy of ID card
6. Travel itinerary, in English or Chinese, with English translation.
7. On-the-job certificate, with English translation in English or Chinese, stamped with the official seal of the company.
8. The unit certificate shows that the enterprise is a business license, and the institution can be an organization code certificate or a unified social credit code certificate. The copy is stamped with the official seal of the unit and does not need translation.
9. Bank transaction receipt can be printed on the bank self-service printer (both in Chinese and English).
1. Round-trip air ticket reservation form. You have booked a plane ticket, please check your email. The reservation form inside is an attachment, just print it out.
11. Accommodation reservation, including every night abroad. I made a reservation on hornet's nest, which will recommend hotels at different prices. I chose to make a reservation, and I can cancel it for free, reducing the risk of itinerary change. This will also send you a pre-order in your mailbox, or you can open it in my order of hornet's nest. There is an option to print the order in the upper right corner. Advanced Chinese-English conversion (with buttons to print English) and then print.
12. Commercial insurance, covering Schengen countries. JD.COM Allianz found on the Internet that (Baidu's search for Schengen travel insurance will yield a lot, so you can consult by phone) the premium should be more than 3, euros, so we chose to cover the trip for one day, around 1 yuan.
13. Copy of marriage certificate (if married)
