Where to apply: Greece has no mission in Nepal

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
India 1,012 km
Applications accepted in: New Delhi
2
Pakistan 1,448 km
Applications accepted in: Islamabad
3
China 2,059 km
Applications accepted in: Beijing, Guangzhou (Canton), Shanghai

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

Your odds of getting the visa: Nepal → Greece

Visa guides tell you whether a visa is required. This block answers the second question — will you get it. Figures come from the European Commission's official 2025 statistics, broken down per country pair.

The Commission counts applications by where they were filed — at consulates located in Nepal — rather than by the applicant's nationality. For most countries these nearly coincide, but applications filed there by other nationals are included too. 2025 data. Source: European Commission, DG HOME
