🇬🇷 Greece Schengen Visa
Citizens of the Republic of Turkey who wish to travel to Greece for tourist trips, vacation, island tours, family/friend visits, or short business purposes must apply for a Schengen Type C Tourist Visa.
Greece is one of the Schengen countries that receives the most applications due to its proximity to Turkey and has a consulate that examines documents closely.
