Greece Visa Assistance from Canada
Visa Jet is a private agency supporting clients across Canada with Greece-related documents and applications. Canadian citizens visit Greece visa-free for short stays, so the heart of our Greece work is documents — apostilled civil records for property, inheritance, and marriage matters, and files for long-stay national visas. We are not a government office or consulate and cannot decide or guarantee any outcome.
Property and Inheritance Matters in Greece
Greek-Canadian families frequently need to act on property or estates in Greece — accepting an inheritance, transferring a family home, or managing land — without relocating. Greek notaries and registries will work with Canadian documents only once the formalities are complete: notarization, an apostille, and certified Greek translation.
Visa Jet prepares those instruments from anywhere in Canada. We coordinate notarized powers of attorney so a lawyer or relative in Greece can represent you, obtain apostilled Canadian vital records that inheritance files typically require, and arrange certified translation into Greek before couriering the package to its destination.
The legal strategy for an estate or purchase belongs with your lawyers in Greece and Canada; our role is ensuring every document clears the formal requirements on the first attempt.
Marriage in Greece and Civil-Status Documents
Couples marrying in Greece, registering a Canadian marriage with Greek authorities, or updating civil-status records often discover that each step needs apostilled Canadian paperwork — birth certificates, proof of no impediment, divorce or death certificates from earlier marriages — usually with certified Greek translations.
Visa Jet identifies which records your Greek municipality or consulate is asking for, obtains them from the right provincial offices, arranges the apostille and translation, and assembles the set in time for your date. Because municipal requirements in Greece vary, we encourage clients to confirm the receiving office's exact list, which we then prepare against.
Long-Stay Visas and Schengen Applications
Visas enter the Greece picture for long stays — study, work, or extended residence — where a national (Type D) visa applies, and for residents of Canada holding nationalities that require a Schengen visa even for short visits. Canadian citizens themselves need no visa for a short holiday or family trip.
For applicants who do need a visa, Visa Jet reviews the file against what the Greek mission serving your region typically requests, prepares and apostilles supporting documents, coordinates Greek translation where needed, and supports submission. Approval, conditions, and timelines rest solely with the Greek authorities.
Consulate Submission Support
Greek consulates in Canada each cover a defined territory, and both visa applications and document filings must reach the mission responsible for your province through its current intake channel. Visa Jet confirms the right mission, the current procedure, and the completeness of your package before anything is lodged.
We coordinate and track as a private intermediary — we do not speak for the Greek government and cannot compress its timelines. Our Greece embassy submission page, linked below, describes this support further.
Common Document Checklist
The matter at hand determines the exact list, but Greece files prepared from Canada commonly involve the following. Treat it as a starting point and verify with the receiving office:
- Canadian birth, marriage, and death certificates, apostilled
- Power of attorney notarized and apostilled for use in Greece
- Certificates supporting marriage in Greece, apostilled where required
- RCMP or provincial police clearance certificate, apostilled where required
- Certified Greek translations of all supporting documents
- Valid passport and proof of status in Canada
- Financial or accommodation evidence for long-stay visa files
- Completed forms for the Greek mission serving your region
How Visa Jet Helps

Visa Jet scales to either — record retrieval, notarization, apostille, certified Greek translation, and secure courier, all handled remotely across Canada.

Frequently asked questions
No. We are a private agency and cannot guarantee approval, acceptance, or timelines. We prepare documents to the formal standard Greece expects — apostille, certified translation, correct sequencing — and the decision on every application or filing rests with the Greek authorities.
Greece accepts apostilled documents, and since Canada joined the Apostille Convention on 11 January 2024, Canadian records are apostilled by the issuing province's designated authority or Global Affairs Canada instead of undergoing consular legalization. Certified Greek translation is usually needed as well; we coordinate the full sequence.
No visa is needed for short visits. National visas apply to long stays such as study, work, or extended residence, and residents of Canada with other nationalities may need a Schengen visa. We prepare those applications and their supporting documents remotely.
Yes. We coordinate the notarization, apostille, and certified Greek translation of powers of attorney signed in Canada, then ship them by secure courier. The wording of the document should come from your notary or Greek lawyer; we make sure the executed document meets every formality.
Important: Visa Jet is a private travel, visa, and document support agency. We are not a government office, embassy, or consulate. We assist with document preparation, legalization support, application review, embassy submission, and tracking. Final approval and processing times are determined by the embassy, consulate, government office, or destination country.
