Type D — National Long-Stay Visa (Type D)

Greece's National Visa (Type D) is the long-stay entry authorisation issued by Greek consular missions to third-country nationals staying more than 90 days, up to 365 days. It is a parent category covering employment, studies, family reunification, financial independence, Golden Visa, digital nomad and other purposes under Joint Ministerial Decree 30825/2014.

Applicants appear in person at the consular post for biometrics and interview, prove the purpose of stay, and hold travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000. The standard consular fee is 150 EUR, rising to 1,000 EUR for employment, financial-independence and Golden Visa categories, plus a 16 EUR card fee.

This visa is ideal for non-EU nationals who know which long-stay residence permit they will pursue in Greece and need a legal entry channel to file that permit on arrival.
