GUIDE FOR NON-EU STUDENTS
If you are a non-European citizen (third country citizen), you must hold a student visa issued by the Greek Embassy of your origin country (Visa D 1.1) before entering Greece and then obtain a student residence permit before the Visa expires.
The application for a student residence permit is submitted by the relevant Institution to the competent Immigration Service of the Decentralized Administration and is granted by decision of the Coordinator of the Decentralized Administration.
