Apply for visa from UK - Non Eea on UK visit visa

Post by bathanza » Sat Jan 01, 2022 5:12 pm

Mother in law has a 5 year visit visa in the UK and is currently visiting us.

Is it possible for her to obtain a visa from embassy in the UK to visit Greece? We have a family member who is on the EU side of Cyprus and wants to visit

Thanks!

Generally, one has to be a resident, not a visitor to be able to apply for a visa from a country that one does not hold citizenship of.

The commercial partner of the Greek Embassy in London states this on their web site:

"Please note that to be eligible to submit an application, it is necessary to have a permanent or temporary residency permit valid for at least 1 month after the intended date of return to the U.K. in order to apply. In any other case the Greek Consular Authorities will not be able to process your application."

How close of a relation is the family member in Cyprus?
