Question

Is show money needed in acquiring Tourist visa going to Greece? How much is the minimum bank account required?

Answer 1

According to a new law passed in December 2007, some non-EU citizens may be asked to show CASH as evidence of sufficient funds for their stay in Greece as a tourist. This can happen when applying for a visa, or it can happen upon arriving at the airport.

See, Non-EU travelers to Greece need 50 euros a day.

It wasn't a law before, but it has always been true that airport or other border authorities could ask for this proof if they suspected someone would work illegally, stay in Greece illegally or overstay their visa.
