Greece visa for Filipino citizens

For the tourist visa, Greece’s official sources give a standard fee of €90. 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 the Philippines, with its embassy in Manila.

In 2025, Greece’s embassy and consulates in the Philippines (Manila) received 25,038 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 23,794. The refusal rate was 4.5%. That is barely different from 2024 (4.1%). Applications rose by 25% compared with 2024 (20,099).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 6.9% of the applications lodged in the Philippines that year, from 3.8% at the consulates of the Netherlands to 22.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Greece’s consulates worldwide refused 14.5%. Greece was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in the Philippines.

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 the Philippines, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Filipino citizens planning a trip to Greece can compare how foreign ministries rate it: 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).
