What materials do you need for a visa to Greece? Is it easy to handle?

information and instructions on visa preparation for going to Greece:

The following is according to the visa requirements of Beijing Embassy:

1. Fill in a visa application form carefully as required, take two photos nearby, attach one to the application form, and submit the other one when applying for a visa

It should be noted that the visa form has been changed once in April, with a page of ***4, and students who downloaded it before should download it again. Copy of all visa pages and copy of embassy seal on passport

4. If passport has been changed, the copy of the replacement page and the old passport

above three items will not be repeated, which is easy to understand

5. For China applicants, the original account book and copies of all account information pages must be provided

My husband and I are both collective accounts, and we need to borrow the copy of the first page of the collective account to affix the official seal. I saw a classmate asking before, because the information on the account page has not been updated, it still shows unmarried, which doesn't matter. I translated it truthfully when I translated it, and indicated at the back that the account information has not been updated.

6. Confirmation of round-trip air ticket order and hotel reservation, transportation and schedule during the trip to Schengen countries

At that time, the air ticket we booked in Emirates was 53 tax-included, and online booking could only be kept for 3 days. Here is a novel about the booking rules of Emirates.

booking tickets online is cheaper than going to the office directly. I called some air ticket agents and found that the price of Emirates website is the best, and there is more room for flight selection. If you book tickets at the office, you can reserve them for about 5 days. If you book tickets on the website, there are two ways to issue tickets. One is e-ticket, which is to be paid immediately, which means that tickets are issued. First, pick it up at the office, you can swipe your card, and the price is the same as that shown online. But only three days can be reserved, such as booking tickets on Wednesday and picking them up on Friday. Moreover, Emirates doesn't go to work on weekends, which means that if you book tickets on Friday, you have to pick them up on Friday, because you don't go to work on Sunday. . . . After booking the ticket, Emirates will send you an email showing the latest time to pick up the ticket, exactly to what time. We didn't issue a ticket when we signed the visa, but we asked several students who went to the visa together and found that our ticket price was still relatively cheap, and there was an upward trend in June, so we went to pick up the ticket immediately after the signing. Emirates refund fee is nobody, 1 yuan. This loss will be borne by yourself. .

I'm also going to set up a transit in Dubai in Emirates. The visa fee is $65. If you want to book a binding hotel, the cheapest one is $129 per night. However, if the visa is unsuccessful and the refund is made, the visa fee is non-refundable, so we didn't make a reservation at that time.

the schedule includes where to live every day, what means of transportation to use, etc. In addition to booking air tickets, you don't have to book in advance to jump off the island and fly by boat. Just write it down.

hotel reservations must be made every night, and there must be an online reservation form or email confirmation. I confirmed it by email, but not by BOOKING and so on. These online confirmations are accepted. When it comes to hotels, the speed at which Greeks reply to emails tests people's patience. There's something else that I don't care about. Almost all hotels need the card number of the international credit card and the three digits on the back of the card, and some need to sign by fax for confirmation. Many people will check out of the hotel after getting the visa and go to Greece to look for it again. I am rather troublesome. I have done a lot of homework before and think that the price can be fixed, so I am not going to cancel it again. In Santorini, I decided to stay in a cave house once, but the more popular ones on the poor tour were fully booked one month in advance. . . . Some of them are over budget. Among them, the price of VIP Suites is appropriate, 8 euros, but half of the room rate needs to be paid in advance. So I added another sunk cost. . . However, it turns out that China Merchants Bank International Credit Card is still very easy to use, haha

7. Original bank deposit certificate, proof of the applicant's financial situation, such as the salary statement or passbook issued by the bank in the last three to six months (do not provide bank deposit certificate), and property certificate, motor vehicle ownership certificate, etc.

Many students are very concerned. Now what Beijing requires is a deposit of 5, yuan per person. They value the current passbook most, usually the salary card, and pay attention to seeing that you have a fixed salary every month, and the balance is better than 5, yuan. However, because my husband and I usually deposit time deposits, buy funds and other wealth management products, there is not much balance in the current account. So I went to the bank (we are ICBC) and issued a certificate of wealth management products, charging 2 yuan. Speaking of periodicity, if you open a credit certificate, you can only display the periodic balance, not the details. If you want to open regular details in ICBC, you must freeze it. Embassy mm said that freezing is not necessary, and they generally don't accept freezing, because if freezing is required, they require freezing for at least three months, and they have to take away the original, so they can't unfreeze it in advance. What happened before was that someone needed to unfreeze in advance, so they came to the embassy to ask for the return of the original frozen funds, but they did not provide this service. . . Therefore, it is very troublesome, so they try not to accept the proof of freezing deposits. But in another case, if only the balance is displayed, but not the details, it is difficult to prove that the deposit is a long-term deposit rather than a large sum of money recently. Embassy mm said that if it is not good to deposit a large sum of money in the near future,

a copy of the real estate license should be provided. Another friend who went to the visa was later asked to provide a copy of the real estate license.

8. A certificate of quasi-falsehood issued by the work unit in Chinese and English (the letter must indicate the address of the unit, telephone number, fax number, position of the applicant, name and position of the signatory and affix the official seal of the unit) and a copy of the valid business license or organization code certificate of enterprises, institutions and organizations with a red seal. The retiree shall provide the original and one copy of the retirement certificate, and the student shall provide the certificate of study issued by the school.

it is best to print on stationery with company logo. Unit address, contact telephone number, fax number, applicant's position, signatory's name and position and affix the official seal of the unit. As for the article "copy of valid business license or organization code certificate of enterprises, institutions and organizations with a red seal", I am a small company and can easily provide it.

9. issue a certificate of overseas medical insurance during the stay in Schengen countries, in which the insurance amount of overseas medical compensation shall not be less than 3, euros, and the original and one copy shall be provided.

The "poor traveler's insurance" on poor tourists is very good. We bought one and the embassy accepted it.

Let's describe the interview process below

The Greek Embassy started the visa at 9: 3 and let people in on time. We lived in the west, afraid of the traffic jam, so we went there early in the morning and arrived at 8: 3. . . . I had to wait until after 9 o'clock. There were only six or seven students with other visas, two with business visas and a couple. I don't think there are many people.

There were almost no people at 1: 3. I think we should either go to the first place early in the morning or go after 1: 3, because it takes quite a long time to receive the materials, so we have to wait at least 2 minutes for the second and third places. There are two staff members receiving information. Except for the first person, everyone in the back took the number, which was on the windowsill where the information was received.

I keep asking for the original documents when I receive the materials, and then I don't need them for the interview. It is best to put the data in order for the staff to check. All translations should be attached with another page at the back of the copy, and don't mark it with a pen. Many important information can be translated, such as the business license of the enterprise. The most important thing is that the bank's running water needs to be translated. If it is a bank's certificate, it is usually in Chinese and English, but it is more troublesome to type the running water list. I translated the top information of the running water, arranged it in Chinese format, and pasted it on the original copy. So that the corresponding figures in English can be seen clearly. I wonder how other students do it. .

after receiving the information, someone will call for an interview later. One face at a time, not together. I didn't know if the translator hadn't come yet. The staff asked me if I needed a translator. I said no, so they let me in. The interview was with a Greek gg in his thirties. I don't know if it is the handsome guy who is often mentioned in the jar. This gg is still very nice, but later it seems that I have to control the time. I said that I should explain why we submitted the certificate of regular freezing. After a few sentences, he said that there is no need to explain, and we will check the information. He didn't have any problems when he saw our itinerary. The most important problem was actually our work. My husband and I both asked the things we were responsible for from beginning to end. Later, I explained them in super detail. I felt that he didn't just have a superficial understanding, and he kept nodding to signal me to continue. . . . Later, my husband did the same, mainly asking about work. We thought maybe we wanted to make sure that we were really doing this job. . . I don't know Later, when my husband came out, he said "have a nice trip in Greece", and when we got excited, we went to pay the plane tickets. . . . .

the whole process is relatively simple and easy. When two people go to meet together, as long as one of them can communicate in English, if both of them can't speak English, they will question the communication in Greece.

One more thing. At that time, gg asked me why I didn't bring my business card, and I said I forgot it. . . My husband asked me by the way because his bag was caught in it. As a result, he said, bring one next time you come. Later, when I came out, I thought, when will I come over next time? I don't often go shopping on Guanghua Road. . . . . I asked the staff, and she said that since the visa officer said so, you can deliver it tomorrow. . . . Khan, had to come and hand in his business card again the next day. So if you have a business card, you must bring it.

another point is that the press center of the Greek embassy and the embassy are in different places. The embassy found on google Maps is actually the press center, which is wrong, but it is correct on Baidu. The embassy is on Guanghua Road, and the news center seems to be building a soho outside. Please don't make a mistake. On the same day, I met a person who came to apply for a visa and said that he had found it there before. .
