N.U.in Semester Visa
It is your responsibility to obtain an appropriate visa, if necessary, prior to your arrival in Greece. Please check with your local Greek consular authority for the most updated visa requirements and processes.
Detailed information about your N.U.in location’s visa process will be provided in the spring preceding your fall program entry. If applicable, Northeastern or the host partner institution will provide the documentation needed. Please note that such information is intended as informational guidance only and does not constitute legal advice.

Please read and ensure that you understand the following points regarding the visa process of your N.U.in location:
As N.U.in Greece is over 90 days, the majority of students will need to apply for a Greek National Visa. This includes US passport holders. EU/EEA passport holders do not require a visa in order to participate in N.U.in Greece.
Visa applications can be a process that takes time and effort on your part. We will assist you in navigating the steps you need to take over the summer months. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to secure your visa in a timely manner. This process can take several weeks or months depending on the consular authority you are applying through and the particulars of your situation.
Please note that you are responsible for any fees associated with the visa application including where necessary application fees, travel to the consular authority, acquiring specialized supporting documentation like a background check or medical certificate. We will guide you on the steps you will need to take in the coming months, so be sure to check your Northeastern email regularly. It is imperative that you are proactive in your visa application process and do not wait until the last minute to begin.
If you cannot obtain a valid visa in time for the program start date, please refer to the N.U.in Payment and Withdrawal Policy in your Application Status Check (posted in late spring) and contact the Global Experience Office to discuss next steps.
