Consulate General of Greece

I had an amazing visa experience at Greece Consulate in Toronto this Wednesday.
The staff was very welcoming, polite, and helpful. Usually, getting a visa might be stressful. But all welcoming and friendly employees did our process very kindly. Especially Visa interview officer, Mr. D, provided me with a lot of useful information about traveling in Greece.
Even before I set out for Greece, I could already feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Greek people.
Thank you all of you!

Wonderful service from the Greek Consulate! I was missing some documents when I came to submit my visa application and the lady at the front (I think her name is Natalia) asked me to forward them to her and she helped me to print. I was really, really impressed. I was in and out in less than an hour. It took about 8 days and I was contacted via email that my visa was ready for pickup.

By the way, even though the website says they accept only cash, they also accept debit cards and the fee is $114.40 not $108.

Pro-tip: If having difficulties getting an appointment try checking the website after midnight. Also, they sometimes help you secure an appointment by phone if you call between 2 and 5 pm M-F.

What an incredible and efficient team at the Consulate General of Greece. They were very thoughtful and dealt with my visa in a timely fashion! Efharisto!

Amazing staff and very helpful. Natalia is so kind and the visa officer was very kind of to help me in urgent situation.

Amazing service! I received a very friendly welcome and a fast and efficient service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that my issue was looked from all possible perspectives and they were patient and polite while explaining to me the solutions. Thank you all of you!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support and outstanding service provided by the Consulate General of Greece in Toronto. Their professionalism, efficiency, and unwavering assistance made our visa application process smooth and stress-free. The team's dedication to excellence and their commitment to ensuring a seamless experience truly impressed us. Thanks to their help, we are now eagerly looking forward to exploring the wonders of Greece and creating lifelong memories. A heartfelt thank you to the Consulate General of Greece for making our dream trip possible!

I was in a bind and it wasn’t easy considering they’re in busy season, they were so helpful in finding a solution for me. I was treated with utmost kindness from everyone I interacted with at the consulate. Best consulate I have been to so far. Makes me even more excited for Greece.

The service at the Greek Consulate in Toronto is top notch, extremely organized and highly efficient and professional.

I was very impressed with the confirmation of the appointment via email (ensuring no misunderstanding) and also the reminder of what documents and fees to bring.

The 2 people (T. Patrinos and D. Kagioulis)
that handled our cases were exemplary in their service. They were efficient and professional and very knowledgeable. Flora was also expedient and professional. And the ladies in the front
, Natalia and the other girl also were professional and friendly.

Also, prior to the visit at the Consulate every telephone interaction and conversation was very informative, professional and friendly.

My whole family was very impressed with the service. Thank you to all of you in the Consulate for your hard work and for representing your country in such positive and professional way. Greece is lucky to have you guys!

I cannot thank the Consulate General of Greece in Toronto enough for their exceptional support and outstanding service. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to assist us with our visa application, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Best experience at a Visa appointment ever. The staff was very welcoming, polite and helpful. They even gave our daughter a small goody bag about Greece. Usually visa interviews can be stressful and serious. The team here is an absolute delight and true ambassadors for Greece.

I was in a bind and I reached out to the Greece consulate via phone and e-mail. They were easy to get a hold of and responded promptly. I would like to give a special thanks to Natalia she really helped me out with Schengen Visa process.

Had an urgent matter to deal with, they helped me really quick and in a very professional manner.

Absolutely awesome service and people. I recently applied for my visa to Greece and I messed up my appointment date. Not only was the lady that helped me understanding, she was empathetic and an absolute delight to meet. I wish I asked her name. Overall service was the quickest I have ever seen, anywhere and their promptness to emails is impeccable.
Absolutely amazing guys.

Worst experience of my life. I have been waiting for 5 years to get my citizenship and despite being given an appointment multiple times it was cancelled or not honoured. Also, the information that I was told I needed to bring in was inaccurate.

After arriving at our appointment earlier today, we were immediately greeted with hostility about why we were there. When the staff member (an older man in a green shirt with glasses) finally saw us, it was one of the rudest interactions I have ever had. He was the most unhelpful, misogynistic and condescending person I've ever dealt with and after waiting 5 years for my appointment, I'm super disappointed.

He came into the waiting room and immediately told to "stop speaking or you'll be removed". Every time I tried to explain why we were there and what the purpose of the appointment was he shushed me and wouldn't let me get a word in or he'd call security.

My dad was trying to communicate with him but was repeatedly interrupted. He eventually told us we'd have to go to the Greek court and file for my parents marriage and divorce, and then maybe we could make another appointment.

This is totally random as each time we go to the embassy we deal with someone telling us a new process for citizenship. I've now totally given up on Greece as a whole. This experience really showcased the terrible bureaucracy present there and now it seems that although I have all of the correct paperwork, they will never actually help me in this process. What a waste of time.

Shame on you.

Flora was an incredible help to me. I sent an urgent request the week prior for a business trip that was in less than 10 days. Flora met with me exceptionally, ensured I had all the required documents and made my trip possible in less than 2 days. Got to hand it off to her. Everyone else at the Consulate is also very friendly and help - great experience. Hope to visit Greece again soon!

Awesome stuff, very helpful, kind, respectful and knowledgeable!
Mr. Christodoulopoulos and Mrs Faiy Boutzios thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your help and for being so amazing and professional! Your courtesy touched my heart!
I will never forget what you did for me, God Bless you all!
Best Regards, Chr. Koroli.

Very kind and gentle staff. Everyone is very polite and has a smile on there face. Even though i got a little late they were very accommodating but I recommend everyone to make it on time as if it gets busy you might be sent back. Luckily at my appointment time it was not that busy as it was early in the morning but by the time I left it got busy.

They are friendly, patient, and extremely helpful. They did all that was in their power to help me. Ειστε καταπληκτικοι!

The staff was super friendly and helpful when I contacted them by phone. I booked an appointment shortly after to see Maria who was extremely wonderful in person as well. She answered all of my questions thoroughly. I was very impressed and glad to have met such a wonderful group of people.

I would like to thank the Consulate General of Greece, and especially Mrs. Maria Spyropoulou for her help and professionalism during the process of our passport applications. She is highly knowledgeable and does an excellent job. Thank you!

I want to thank Mrs. Spyropoulou for her professionalism and assistance throughout the process of obtaining a passport. She has been very helpful and she kept me informed. Thank you.

Very friendly & kind staff. Been here twice for my visa application- both times in and out in 20 minutes. Very efficient Consulate.
