Semester students are responsible for obtaining the visa and will need to travel to a Greek Consulate at their own expense to apply for the passport/visa in person. After acceptance AIFS will provide detailed visa information and the official documents required for students to apply for the visa. Students must contact the Greek Embassy or Consulate directly for the appropriate visa forms. Fall Quarter students do not require a visa.
