2. INTRODUCTION
A visa refusal is the rejection of the application for a non-
immigrant visa by the immigration authorities. The Greek
immigration authorities are called the Ministry for Migration
Policy. (http://www.immigration.gov.gr/en_US/web/guest/elleniki-
metanasteutiki-politiki)
The Greek visa would cost you 60 euros and the visa application
process can take up to four weeks. Greece issued 27,880 Multiple
Entry Visas (MEVs) out of the total 27,895 visa applications
issued in 2017. Greece is a signatory to the Schengen
Agreement and had a 13.20% refusal rate in 2017.
3. REASONS FOR GREECE VISA REFUSALS
The reasons for the refusal of a Schengen visa are on the
same lines and the most common reasons for refusal of a
Greek visa are that the applicant has a history of refusal of
Schengen visa that has remained unresolved, the applicant
has a criminal record which was not disclosed to the
authorities, the funds to cover the expenses of the travel are
not sufficient, the purpose of visit and the intention to fly back
to the home country is suspicious.
4. WHAT ARE THE SOLUTIONS TO VISA REFUSALS?
The solution for visa refusal is to either appeal the decision or to file for a
fresh application.
If the applicant has the time to wait for the decision of the appeal filed, then
he/she can appeal the decision of visa refusal, a right which is granted
under Article 32(3) of the Visa Code, and the appeal needs to be filed with
the Greek Embassy. The appeal letter/remonstration letter should contain
information about the candidate and the reasons for appealing the decision.
The judgment of the appeal can take 30-90 days.
If the applicant has no valid grounds for appealing the decision of visa refusal
or if the applicant is not willing to wait for that long, he/she can file for fresh
application after meeting the reasons for visa refusal.
5. Should You Go For It
The refusal rate for Greece is not that high but obtaining the
Schengen visa is not that easy either and so one must always
tread with caution by taking the advice of qualified advisors at
every step of the way.
