Visa Information for Greece
Students accepted on the executive MBA programme do not need to apply for a student visa, as is the case of students attending other programmes. MBA students apply for a multiple entry visa.
More
specifically, the International and Student Services Office provides a particular certificate
of enrollment written in Greek and issued for visa purposes. Students
will use this certificate to apply for an Ethniki Visa
(national visa valid only for Greece), multiple entry (preferably for
one year or at least six months*). MBA students apply for
this type of visa because of the special mode of attendance (one weekend
per month).
Furthermore,
the Greek Embassy/Consulate in each country will request additional
supporting documents (e.g.
employment certificate, financial statement etc.).
Since Greek Embassies/Consulates in each particular country may have different
requirements for this type of visa
application, we would advise students to consult them before they
proceed with their application.Additionally, they might be
requested to present evidence of booked accommodation during their visit
to Greece and/or evidence of financial ability to support themselves
during their visit.
A
Visa
is not required for MBA students
from Bulgaria and Romania since
both countries joined the European Union on 1/1/2007. Therefore,
students will only present the certificate of enrollment mentioned above
at the border authorities upon request.
Students
enrolled at the MBA programme in Belgrade attend particular
modules in Thessaloniki, at the premises of CITY College. For that
reason, they will also apply for visa using the certificate of
enrollment. Normally, in this case, a 6 months multiple entry visa for the modules
attended in Thessaloniki will be adequate. *
Students
enrolled at the MBA programme in Bucharest also attend
particular modules in Thessaloniki, at the premises of CITY College.
Nevertheless, they do not need a visa since, as explained above, Romania has
become a EU memeber country.

Office will help where necesarry.
