Important Notice:
The Visa On Arrival program is a fast-track visa process provided by Greek authorities for Turkish citizens planning short-term tourist visits to certain Greek islands.
This visa does not have Schengen visa status. It is valid only on the specific Greek island visited, for a maximum of 6 nights and 7 days, with single entry and exit.
During the visa period, travelers can only stay on the entered island; no inter-island travel is allowed. It is mandatory to exit from the same island at the end of the visit.
The Visa On Arrival is not pre-approved like a Schengen visa. After the application file is prepared, the passenger departs without a visa from Turkish ports.
The final decision is made at the customs checkpoint of the relevant Greek island on the day of travel.
Usually, no prior information is given before the trip. However, in some adverse cases, applicants may be informed 2-3 days before travel that their application has been rejected.
Rejected applications are not justified and visa fees are non-refundable.
---
Attention Points:
- Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the entry date and contain at least 2 blank pages.
- Passengers who have previously been rejected by Greece, possess "TRNC entry" stamps, or have passports issued by the Turkish Consulate in the TRNC cannot get a visa at the border.
- The visa is only valid for the specific island applied for; crossing to other islands is not permitted.
**** Visa procedures will be carried out by kapidakolayvize.com.
