• The Visa on Arrival Program is a fast and facilitated visa application provided by the Greek authorities for Turkish citizens who will make short-term tourist visits to certain Greek islands.

The visa issued within this program does not have the status of a Schengen visa. It is only valid on the Greek island you will visit and is issued for maximum of 6 nights, 7 days with single entry-exit. During the visa period, you can only stay on the island you entered; inter-island transitions are not allowed. At the end of the visit, exit must also be made from the same island.

• Visa on Arrival is not concluded in advance like a Schengen visa.
  After the application file is prepared, the passenger leaves from Turkish ports without a visa.
  The final decision is made at the customs point of the relevant Greek island on the travel day.
• Usually, no information is given before travel.
  However, in some negative cases, information may come that the application has been rejected 2-3 days before departure.
• No justification is provided for rejected applications.
  Moreover, visa fees are non-refundable.
