Planning a trip to the islands, ancient ruins, or vibrant cities of Greece? Pakistani passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to enter Greece and travel freely across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Whether you want a Greece tourist visa, business visa, or family visit, this complete 2026 guide covers everything you need — requirements, documents, fees, processing time, and how Trips.pk makes the process smoother.
Why Choose Greece for Your Next Trip?
Greece combines history, beaches, food, and easy island hopping. A single approved Schengen visa lets you explore not only Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos but also other Schengen countries. For Pakistani travelers, proper file preparation is the key difference between approval and rejection.
Types of Greece Visas Available
Tourist / Visit Visa (Schengen Type C) – Holidays, sightseeing, visiting friends or family. Stay up to 90 days.
Business Visa (Schengen Type C) – Meetings, conferences, trade events.
Long-Stay / National D Visa – Study, work, or family reunification (more than 90 days). Separate process and documents required.

Most Pakistani applicants apply for the short-stay tourist or business visa.
