Most Questions Asked by Visa Applicants
How do I book a Greece appointment from Ireland?
Greece Ireland portal OTP relies on Irish carriers. Because Dublin is usually the only Irish centre on these flows, dates disappear quickly after fresh releases—steady checks beat panic buys.
Where do I find latest address and center timings?
Attend-centre bulletins explain embassy forwarding nuances. Irish public holidays sometimes overlap with Schengen closures, so treat the attend-centre notice as the live rulebook.
Should I buy final flight tickets before visa approval?
No — embassies accept a flight reservation or itinerary. You do not need paid tickets. Use a hold booking service to get a valid reservation with a real PNR, and only buy final tickets after your visa is approved.
