About Temporary Work visa processing times for Greece
Why processing times vary by nationality
Every Temporary Work visa application goes through the same process, regardless of nationality. What varies between countries is verification workload: how many supporting documents typically need checking, how quickly a country's civil and identity documents can be verified, and how many Greece applications the Department is processing at any given time.Where this data comes from
This data is derived from approximately 4.5 million visa grants obtained from the Department of Home Affairs via Freedom of Information request (Reference: DA25/10/00449), covering July 2024 to September 2025. View the released document.Methodology

How long does the Temporary Work visa take from Greece?
As of July 2026, the median processing time for the Temporary Work visa for Greece passport holders is 6 days, meaning half of applications are decided within that time and half take longer. This is based on real Department of Home Affairs data, but it's indicative only, not a guarantee for any individual application.
Can my application be processed faster than the median?
Yes. The figures on this page are medians and percentiles across many applications, not a fixed timeline. Individual cases move faster or slower depending on how complete the application is, whether extra checks or documents are needed, and current volumes at the Department. A complete, error-checked application removes one of the most common causes of delay.
Where does this processing time data come from?
This data comes from a Freedom of Information request to the Department of Home Affairs, covering about 4.5 million visa grants between July 2024 and September 2025. We update these figures monthly as the Department publishes new processing time data.
Does applying through Tern make my Temporary Work visa faster?
No visa processor, including Tern, can make the Department decide faster. What we control is the quality of your application: checked before submission, so it isn't delayed by an avoidable error or missing document. On eligible visas, we also commit to a grant-by date upfront.
