Greek visa center - gateway to antiquity

The Greek visa center was created to make life easier for those tourists who want to admire the ancient monuments, visit the famous islands of Greece, soak up the beach and taste Greek cuisine. In other words, when the tourist flow to this country became so great that the consulate ceased to issue visas, it was decided to entrust this matter to a third-party organization. This is called the smart word "outsourcing," that is, using the forces and capabilities of the hired structure to perform certain functions. Outsourcing can provide any services - and the issuance of visas is no exception.

The Greek visa center has its specialization. He deals exclusively with short-term visas - those that are issued for short-term visits. Such in the international practice are considered trips, the total duration of which in total is not more than 90 days within six months. The Greek visa center works with tourists, which travel companies send , with those guests of the country that go there at the invitation of relatives or friends, with businessmen and other people who go to Greece on business. In particular, a short-term visa is issued to participants in various international congresses, conferences and seminars that take place in this country, athletes and artists coming for speeches, as well as truck drivers who carry goods there or from there.

Alas, we must admit that the Greek visa center does not work for free. The minimum cost of a visa, which was during registration at the consulate, has grown significantly. And the reduction of queues led to an increase in the costs of tourists. Under the agreement with the European Union, the preferential cost of issuing a Schengen visa for Russians should be 35 euros. But this agreement does not apply to the services of outside structures. That's why an ordinary tourist often has to pay 70 euros - this includes not only a consular but also an additional service charge for the urgency of registration. On the other hand, if you compare this price with the price of companies that specialize in urgent registration of visas for different terms, then these rates will seem ridiculously low.

The Greek visa center in Moscow does not provide its services to most residents of the European part of Russia. In addition, there are similar centers in St. Petersburg, Novorossiysk, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok. In other words, they are as close as possible to the Russians, so beloved by sunny Greece. However, the use of their services is not necessary. In our country, after all, there is more than one consulate of Greece, which has its own "controlled" territories, whose residents can freely use their services. In particular, consulates exist not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg and Novorossiysk. In these three consulates, and in the end flock to the documents from more numerous visa centers.
