Instructions for filling out an application for a visa to Greece
Items 1 And 3 fill in in strict accordance with the foreign passport. Middle name is not required.
Point 2, as a rule, refers to girls who changed their surname upon marriage. Simply put, here you must specify all your previous last names. If you have never changed your last name, do not indicate anything (please do not put dashes, the words “no” or “N/A”, etc.)
Item 4. The date of birth is indicated in the format "day-month-year".
Item 5. We indicate the place of birth in strict accordance with the corresponding column of the foreign passport. If it is written, for example, “Moscow region”, you can write either completely in Latin “Moskovskaya obl.”, Or in English “Moscow region” - it doesn’t matter.
Item 6. We also look at the international passport. If the USSR is written, then we write USSR.
Item 7.“Citizenship at the present time” - everything is clear here. "Citizenship at birth, if different" - all born before December 25, 1991, boldly write "USSR". If you were born after this date, then the item is not filled. If you were born in a country other than the USSR or Russia, write your country of birth.
Item 8. Specify gender.
Item 9. Put a tick in the appropriate marital status.
If you were officially married and divorced, then you cannot indicate the status of "single / not married", you must indicate "divorced". If you fill out the questionnaire on a computer, and the checkbox is not ticked, you can safely put it later by hand.
Item 10.To be completed only for children and minors. Either the parent or legal guardian is listed here. If he/she lives with a child/minor, it is sufficient to indicate only the last name, first name and nationality. If you live separately, then in addition to the last name, first name and citizenship, you must specify the address of residence and contact phone number (preferably).
Item 11 not required to fill out. However, you can specify the Russian passport number.
Item 12. Please indicate which category your passport belongs to. In the event that minor children are entered in the parents' passport, the category and data of the parents' passport are indicated.
Put a tick in the field "Regular passport". If you fill out the questionnaire on a computer, and the checkbox is not ticked, you can safely put it later by hand.
Item 13. We write only the passport number in accordance with the spelling in the passport. If you have an old-style passport and there is a “No” badge in the room, then you can not indicate it at all. If you still want to specify, you can use either " № ", or " # ».
Item 14 And 15 . Specify the date of issue of the foreign passport and the expiration date of its validity. Any date format is possible.
Item 16. We indicate the authority that issued the foreign passport (as indicated in the passport) in Latin letters and do not forget about the numbers, if any. FMS = FMS, FMS = UFMS, OUFMS = OUFMS, Russian Foreign Ministry = MID ROSSII, etc.
Item 17. Specify the address of actual residence. This is the address where you currently live. This is especially true for those who are registered in another region of Russia, but rent an apartment in Moscow or the Moscow region. The consulate will not write letters to you, they need to understand where you are right now. Moreover, you may not have a residence permit at all, but you live somewhere. This is the address that the Consulate is interested in. Don't forget the index. It is not necessary to include words such as "house", "building" or "apartments". If you live in house 5, building 8, apartment 52, then "5-8-52" is enough. Enter your email address (personal or work, it doesn't matter).
The phone number is what matters. It is advisable to indicate an alternative phone number in addition to the mobile number. The consulate often calls applicants to clarify any questions. It remains to be seen what might happen to your visa application if you are constantly “out of network coverage”. You can specify the Russian code as "8" or "+7"
Item 18. If you are a citizen of Russia, put a tick in "No" and move on to the next question. If you are a foreigner, then indicate here the document on the basis of which you legally stay in the Russian Federation: work permit / work visa, etc.
Item 19.For employees: indicate your position according to the certificate from the place of work. If the certificate is written in Russian, and you are not strong in English, then look in the online translator for how your position is written in English. For example, you work as an accountant. You must specify "Accountant". In this example, we have a Manager. It's simple here.

You can safely indicate the legal form of your Company in Latin as "OOO" / "ZAO" / "OAO". If you work in a government organization, then we all know how complicated they are officially called: for example, FSUE VNIIA. Feel free to write in Latin FGUP “ VNIIA” ". Specify the legal address of the organization or the address indicated in the certificate. Don't forget the index. Specify the phone number and, if available, the fax number. It is highly desirable to indicate a phone that actually works, since the Consulate often calls employers to make sure that the applicant really works for them.
For students and schoolchildren: we indicate the address and phone number according to the certificate from the institute / school.
For the unemployed, pensioners, housewives and preschoolers: indicate the address of residence and contact phone number.
Item 21. Select the desired purpose of the trip:
Item 22. Specify the country from which we are requesting a visa.

When you fly with a transfer, for example, in Poland, the country of first entry will be "Poland". If you are traveling by car, then indicate the first country of crossing the Schengen area.
Item 24. Select the desired number of entries by ticking the box.
You have the right to request a multiple entry visa. Selecting a multiple-entry visa in the application form (“because I want to”) does not guarantee the issuance of this visa, as well as the visa in general.
Item 25. Specify the number of days of stay. If we request a visa for travel dates, we write the exact number of days (including the day of entry and exit, of course).
If we are requesting a multiple-entry visa, we indicate dates of first trip And number of days of stay. By day: through the “/” sign, first indicate the dates of the first trip, and then the total number of days of stay according to the requested visa. If we request a visa for 3 months, we write either “30” or “45”. If we request a visa for 6 months or 1 year, we indicate “90”.
Example: the trip is scheduled for the dates from 03/12/2019 to 03/18/2019. We will apply for an annual visa. In paragraph 25, we indicate 3 parameters: (1) 12.03.2019-18.03.2019 , (2) 7 (exact number of days according to the first trip), (3) 90 (maximum number of days of stay for an annual visa).
Item 26. We indicate Schengen visas for 3 years.
"In offset" are visas, issued exactly for the last 3 years. For example, now it is November 8, 2019. Thus, visas will "count" issued from November 8, 2016, not earlier. Earlier visas will not be taken into account. Also indicate the country that issued the visa.
