I visited this legendary place yesterday. Before that, of course, I read the reviews and set myself up that it would be very difficult. To my great surprise, everything went as smoothly as possible. I don't know if I was so lucky or if people who write negative reviews were unlucky. I had an appointment for a Greek visa at 13:00. At 13: 07 I was already at the window and submitted the documents. Of course, there were some incidents. They found an error in my profile and warned me that they could fix it themselves, but this is a paid service. I agreed, because it was the first time I was dealing with the visa application center and I was afraid that I would mess up even more. And only then did I find out the price of this service and, to put it mildly, I was stunned, standing at the cash register.I was also struck by the cost of the message that arrives the day before the passport is delivered to the house. In my opinion, 9 rubles is a bit much. That's why I took off one star. As for the staff, I have no complaints at all. I had a chance to talk with 5 employees during this time. All the girls behaved as correctly and kindly as possible. If I had any questions, they calmly answered and helped me sort out the paperwork. Thanks a lot to them for that. I was very worried and stupid a lot
😋 At 13: 57 I left the VC. The whole thing took me an hour. Including biometrics, running to the ATM (because payment is made only in cash), insurance registration and the very submission of documents.
I think it all depends on your attitude towards employees. If you smile, treat employees politely and with understanding, then you will be treated accordingly. I will be waiting for the coveted envelope. Good luck to everyone in getting a visa!
Very long and brazenly
No matter how much she asked to refuse courier delivery, the girl lied from time to time looking into her eyes and said that there was no other way

UPD: I paid 8p for SMS notifications, as a result, none came (the phone number is correct)
+ the girl in the VC convinced me to take express delivery (35p), allegedly she comes day after day, as a result: at 10 a.m. I received an email that the VC handed over the passport for delivery, delivery to This day has not been implemented. The girl lied here too; after clarifying at the autolight call center, it turns out that they have express delivery the next day (actually like regular delivery, which costs 20p)

I hope this review will help you, and you will not be deceived by the employees of the VC
In general, I spent 35-40 minutes there, everything went quickly and without any hassle. There were no quibbles with the documents, the photos were not sent to be redone, the fingerprints were also taken quickly. Perhaps I got to a sensible specialist.
It is important to remember that the decision to issue a visa does not depend on the visa application center. Perhaps they are forced to run around with papers so that the chance of extradition increases.
Yes, pumping money for air takes place.
Important! Take cash with you, card payments are not accepted.
