How to get a slot
To book a Greece Schengen visa appointment in the UK, register on the GVC World site at uk-gr.gvcworld.eu, choose London or Manchester (the only two UK centres), pick a slot, and prepay the service fee online: the appointment is confirmed only once the payment of 25.50 pounds (30 euros) clears. There is no Edinburgh centre, so plan travel accordingly and book early.

- Register on uk-gr.gvcworld.eu. Greece is the only Schengen state using GVC World in the UK.
- Choose London or Manchester. These are the only Greece centres; Scotland has none.
- Select a slot from the live calendar.
- Prepay the 25.50 pound (30 euro) service fee online. Without this payment the slot is not held.
- Attend in person with your file to give biometrics and submit your documents. The consulate fee of 90 euros (about 81 pounds) applies, and standard processing is 15 days after biometrics.

If there are no slots
Two centres for the whole UK means Greece calendars fill quickly, and no one can quote a reliable wait time. What helps:
- Check the live calendar at different times of day. Cancellations release slots back without notice, and fresh batches appear irregularly.
- Compare both cities. If London shows nothing, Manchester may have dates, and vice versa.
- Book up to 6 months before travel, particularly ahead of the summer peak.
- Do not pay third-party slot bots. They add cost and risk, and consulates have voided bot-booked appointments.
Before your appointment
Since many applicants travel a long way to reach a Greece centre, a rejected file at the counter hurts twice. Get it right first time:
- Checklist generator: a tailored document list for a Greece application
- Bundler and Compressor: assemble and size your file
- Travel insurance covering at least 30,000 euros of medical costs
- A flight itinerary and accommodation proof matching your stated dates
Visiting several Schengen states? Confirm Greece is the right country to apply to before you prepay the fee.
Finish the application properly
The slot is half the job; the file you bring is the other half. Read the overview of getting a Schengen appointment in the UK and the full Greece visa from the UK guide.

Common questions
- 01
How do I book a Greece visa appointment with GVC in the UK?
Register on the GVC World UK site at uk-gr.gvcworld.eu, choose London or Manchester, select a slot from the live calendar, and prepay the service fee online. The slot is only confirmed once that payment goes through. You then attend in person for biometrics and to submit your documents.
- 02
How much does a GVC Greece appointment cost?
The GVC service fee is 25.50 pounds (30 euros), paid online in advance to confirm your appointment. The Greek consulate fee of 90 euros for an adult, roughly 81 pounds, is charged on top. Check the current price list on the GVC site before booking, as optional services cost extra.
- 03
Does GVC Greece have a centre in Edinburgh or Scotland?
No. GVC World runs Greece visa centres in London and Manchester only. Applicants living in Scotland or elsewhere in the UK need to travel to one of those two cities for their appointment, so factor the trip into your planning and pick whichever centre shows availability first.
- 04
Why can't I find a GVC Greece appointment slot?
With only two UK centres, Greece slots are under real pressure, especially before summer. Availability shifts through the day as cancellations and new batches release, so keep checking the live calendar at different times, compare London against Manchester, and book as early as you can, up to six months ahead.
