All GVCW Visa Application Centers in South Africa stopped accepting Greek visa applications from January 1.
The application centres are in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, handling visa applications on behalf of the Greek consulates and collecting relevant biometric data.
“We would like to inform you that all GVCW Visa Application Centers in South Africa will gradually cease accepting applications and will officially discontinue operations as of January 1. Until further notice, applicants are kindly requested to contact the relevant Greek diplomatic mission according to their location,” the application center said in a notice.
The Greek consulate told Travel News that, as a result, all non-urgent tourist visa applications were on hold. The visa application centres are expected to reopen by February 1.
