Greece Visa from Lebanon

Official application route

Applications normally use VFS Global Beirut. Review the Greek mission's current checklist for your purpose of travel.

Passport: recognised, issued within the previous 10 years, valid for at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure, with at least 2 blank visa pages. Check national notices before booking.
Application and photos: the signed country form, compliant recent photographs, and the originals/copies specified by the application centre.

Itinerary: round-trip reservation, any relevant inter-Schengen transport, a written purpose of travel and a coherent day-by-day schedule.
Accommodation: hotel booking, prepaid lodging or property evidence; for a private visit, the destination’s valid host accommodation or invitation document.
Medical insurance: cover valid throughout Schengen for the planned stay, with at least €30,000 for medical/emergency treatment, hospitalisation and repatriation.

Funds: evidence of sufficient, accessible funds, their history and lawful source. The Lebanon harmonised list asks for stamped bank movements for the previous 6 months or an accepted alternative; include any withdrawal terms or restrictions that affect access.
Family register: an officially stamped, up-to-date extract.
Return ties: documents showing your lawful income and situation in Lebanon—employment, business, study, family responsibilities or other concrete links that genuinely apply to you.

Employee: employment letter with hire date, role, salary and approved absence; last 3 payslips; CNSS registration.
Company owner: company statutes, commercial registration and 3 months of company statements or corporate tax statements.
Self-employed or freelancer: syndicate membership card or letter, tax statements and evidence of current business activity.
Student or retired applicant: enrollment/attendance and scholarship evidence, or pension proof and other resource evidence, as applicable.
Sponsored, unemployed or homemaker applicant: truthful status declaration, funding evidence and credible economic or social ties suited to the applicant and destination; use the destination’s sponsorship form where one is required.
Minor: school certificate plus the normal identity documents; for one-parent or unaccompanied travel, the applicable consent, custody, travel-arrangement and parental-funding evidence.

Tourism: organised-tour or activity bookings, or a detailed itinerary with destinations and accommodation.
Family or friends: invitation identifying the applicant and host, host address, reason and length of stay, host ID/passport or residence permit, and relationship proof where applicable.
Business: official stamped/signed invitation with the inviting company’s contact and registration details, business purpose, dates and who pays; add sending-company employment or business-relationship evidence.

Completed, signed Greek form; the Beirut checklist permits English, French or Arabic entries.
Two ID photographs, the signed passport, and copies of its data page, previous visas and relevant stamps.
For family or friends, the official invitation and relationship evidence for that purpose.
Confirm current English-translation instructions with the visa centre before preparing translations.

Use the latest official purpose-specific list before your appointment. Do not rely on a generic checklist for invitations, minors or business travel.
