goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — specializes in Greece Tourist/Visit (Schengen C) visas. We provide end-to-end file preparation and VFS submission support for Bangladeshi travelers visiting Greece for holidays, family visits, business meetings, or short medical visits.
For Student and Family Long-stay (D) visas, goFLY provides advisory support only — including checklists, translation/legalization guidance, and appointment strategy. These national visas require direct application at the competent Greek mission.
Any Greece work/job visas. Work authorization is employer-led and requires a Greek employer to initiate the process. Any agency promising "guaranteed Greece work visa" without a legitimate job offer is running a scam. For work visa guidance, consult official Greek MFA pages and your employer directly.
