EU, EEA and Swiss citizens do not need a student visa but must meet residence-registration conditions for longer stays. Most non-EU students need acceptance from the relevant education institution before applying for a national Type D study visa through the competent Greek embassy or consulate, then must complete the correct residence-permit process. Admission alone does not confer immigration status. Requirements vary by nationality, provider category and study route, so use the competent consulate, Ministry of Migration and host institution immediately before travel. Appointment capacity, jurisdiction, document checks and interviews vary. EU rules address residence-decision timing but do not create a guaranteed end-to-end visa timeline. External service, translation, legalisation, insurance and document-production charges may be separate.

Completed national-visa application, compliant photograph, biometrics and in-person interview where required.

Proof of sufficient funds for study, living costs and return travel in the form accepted by the authority.

Criminal-record certificate and medical certificate where required for the national-visa application.

Checked 22 August 2026: no single official Greece-wide time for every Type D student visa was verified. Appointments, jurisdiction, checks and interviews vary. Apply as early as the consulate allows; avoid irreversible travel commitments before approval.

Checked 22 August 2026: current guidance lists national-visa fees of EUR 90 or EUR 180 depending on the case, plus EUR 150 per year for a study residence permit. Other service and document charges may be separate; verify the official payee.
