Greece visa for Azerbaijani citizens

Greece’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Greece states it: Decision normally within 15 calendar days of an admissible application; longer in individual cases that need more checks (the Visa Code allows up to 45 days). Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the whole Schengen area.

Greece has 1 mission in Azerbaijan, with its embassy in Baku.

In 2025, Greece’s embassy and consulates in Azerbaijan (Baku) received 5,267 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 5,058. 3.0% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 9.5%: the rate fell by 6.5 points, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 70% compared with 2024 (3,102).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.8% of the applications lodged in Azerbaijan that year. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.5%. Greece was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Azerbaijan.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Azerbaijan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Azerbaijan to Greece, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Greece at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 22 October 2025), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Greece (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Greece (updated 15 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
