DS-160 VISA

Effective Immediately

Section
Overview

The Visa section is located at the Kokkali Street entrance near to
Dinokratous & Evzonon Streets.

The Non-immigrant Visa section is closed the last Wednesday of each month and
these U.S.
and Greek Holidays.

All nonimmigrant visa applicants must fill out the new online
DS-160 Consular Electronic Application Center form.
Previous application forms are not accepted.

Note:  The Consular Section is unable to
process visa applications with passports for infants or children with a printed
name of “FNU” (first name unknown), or “Avaptisto” (unbaptized).  If you
come to the Embassy with the either “FNU” or “Avaptisto” on the passport, the
visa issuance will be delayed until the new passport containing the full legal
name is received. We kindly request that you return to your Registrar’s Office
to update the child’s birth certificate and proceed to your passport issuing
agency to acquire a passport with the legal first and last name.  This
process is known as “onomatodosia.”
