Non-Immigrant Visas
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. For emergencies on those days, please call 210-721-2951 from 8:30 a.m to 5:00 p.m. and outside of normal working hours 210-720-2490 or 210-720-2491.
All nonimmigrant visa applicants must fill out the new online DS-156 Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF). Non-electronic DS-156 applications (typed, handwritten) 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.”
