Relaxed documentation: Greece’s required documents are standard, without many extra forms. A personal invitation letter from your Greek partner (if visiting them) should be included, but it doesn’t need to be notarized. Have them mention they’ll host you and maybe attach a copy of their passport/ID. If they’re not providing accommodation, ensure you have hotel bookings for all nights.
Financial checks: Greek visas need proof of sufficient funds (bank statements showing regular activity). If your partner will sponsor you, add their financial proof and a simple note saying they’ll cover your expenses. Greek authorities are generally not as strict as Northern Europe on finances, but you still must meet basic Schengen money requirements (about €50 per day recommended).
Return ties: Show your ties to Thailand, as always. Greece doesn’t have a reputation for heavy scrutiny on visitor visas, but if an application lacks a clear reason you’ll return, they can refuse. So include your employment letter, etc. One quirk: Greek visas can sometimes be issued for shorter durations than requested, so it’s wise to ask for only the days you truly need.
