Visa Information

General information

Before traveling to Kos, Greece, it's essential to be aware of the visa requirements. Here are some key points:

Visa Requirements: Greece is a member of the Schengen Agreement, which allows citizens of certain countries to enter Greece and other Schengen countries without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, if you are from a country that is not visa-exempt, you will need to apply for a Schengen visa before traveling.

Passport Validity: Ensure that your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay in Greece. It's always a good idea to check your passport's expiration date well in advance of your trip and renew it if necessary.

Visa Application Process: If you need a Schengen visa, you must apply through the Greek consulate or embassy in your home country. The application process typically requires submitting an application form, passport-sized photos, proof of travel insurance, flight itinerary, accommodation details, and proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay.
