Applying for Greece tourist visa (Schengen) from a non residence country while on a tourist visa
This might get a little confusing but bear with me.
- Country of citizenship: India
- Country of residence: Canada (work permit)
- Countries I am about to visit: U.A.E. and the Greece
The decision to visit Greece was recent and so I do not have enough time between now and when I leave Canada to apply for my Greece tourist visa.
Since I am going to be spending about 3 weeks in the U.A.E. I was hoping to get my Greece tourist visa once there.
Then I came across this visa information page:
Only UAE nationals and nationals of third countries that are legal residents in UAE can apply for a visa at the Greece Visa Application Centre in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
I am not a U.A.E. national and only a tourist in U.A.E.
Would it be possible for me to get a Greece tourist visa while in U.A.E. ?
