This guide gives the contact details of the Embassy of Greece in New Delhi and the Indian cities where Greece has honorary consulates, together with the little consular information found in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) bilateral brief on India-Greece relations. Contact details, the head of mission and the list of honorary consulates come from the MEA Protocol Division register, read on 24 September 2026.

Embassy of Greece

The register lists the head of mission as H.E. Mrs. Aliki Koutsomitopoulou, Ambassador.

According to the MEA brief, Greece opened its Embassy in Delhi in 1950, and India opened its Embassy in Athens in 1978.

These details are as listed when the register was read on 24 September 2026. Contact details can change, so readers should check them on the Embassy's website before relying on them.

Honorary consulates

  • Mumbai

Readers should ask the Embassy which office can handle their matter.

Visas and consular matters

The MEA brief contains no information on Greek visa rules, fees, processing times or eligibility, and none is given here. It also contains no information on flights between the two countries. Travellers, students, workers and business visitors should check current requirements with the Embassy of Greece before making plans. Greek citizens planning to visit India should check Indian visa requirements through official Indian government channels, including the Embassy of India in Athens.

Readers should contact the Embassy by telephone or email, or check its website, before making a visit in person.

For readers in India interested in Greece, a "Dimitrios Galanos" Chair for Hellenic Studies was established at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in September 2000.

The brief notes that, as part of educational reforms in Greece, universities in the Hellenic Republic have started exploring the expansion of educational opportunities for Indian students. Most of these efforts are at the level of individual universities, operating through educational agencies in India.

Students should confirm admission and visa requirements directly with the university concerned and with the Embassy of Greece before paying fees or applying.

Business visitors

Business visitors should confirm entry requirements with the Embassy of Greece. The trade article of this guide lists the Indian companies that the brief names as having invested in Greece.

Indian nationals in Greece

According to the 2011 Greek census cited in the brief, the Indian community in Greece numbered 11,333.

Indian nationals in Greece who need consular help should contact the Embassy of India in Athens.

Age of the information

The MEA brief used for this guide is undated. Its most recent entries refer to events in 2024 and to a visit in February 2025, so facts drawn from it may have changed since. The contact details, the head of mission and the list of honorary consulates are more recent, as they come from the register read in September 2026.

A note on honorary consuls

Honorary consuls have limited powers, and an honorary consulate may not be able to issue visas or passports or deal with other consular matters. Requirements for any application should always be confirmed with the Embassy of Greece in New Delhi.
