Greece Visa UAE
Greece Visa UAE support from Al Hadaf Al Masi is designed for UAE residents, businesses and families who want the correct route, documents, current fees and next steps before applying. We review the profile and clarify the official process without promising approval.
Greece Visa UAE – Overview
Greece Visa UAE can refer to two very different routes. A short-stay Greece Schengen visa is for temporary travel and is submitted in the UAE through the official Greek visa application centres in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, depending on the application route. Greece’s Golden Visa, by contrast, is a residence-by-investment programme and is not a tourist visa. Current property thresholds vary by location and property category, including €800,000 in designated high-demand areas, €400,000 in other areas and certain €250,000 special-property routes.

- Submit through the official Greece visa application centre and complete biometrics.
- For Golden Visa: identify the qualifying investment category and location threshold.
- Complete specialist Greek legal/property due diligence and the qualifying investment.
- Submit the residence-permit application through the appropriate Greek legal/immigration process.
