Employment Residence

Work and build your future in Greece

Greek employment residence is based on a genuine qualifying job, an eligible employer and the applicable admission and immigration procedure.

CETO Global assesses each case and coordinates the process with qualified Greek immigration, legal, corporate and tax professionals where required.

Employment Framework

A job offer alone does not guarantee residence or work permission.

For broader qualifying roles under Greece's employment admission framework.

For highly qualified employment meeting current qualification and salary rules.

For temporary transfers within a qualifying international corporate group.

A separate, time-limited framework can apply in agriculture, tourism and hospitality.

Assess nationality, skills and immigration history.

Check the Greek employer and proposed role.

Compare ordinary employment, Blue Card and ICT.

Coordinate required employer-side steps.

Complete entry and residence formalities.

Plan family reunification, renewal and settlement.

Does any Greek job qualify?

No. The position, employer and admission rules must all be satisfied.

Can I change employers?

Potentially, subject to the conditions of the specific work authorisation.

Can employment lead to long-term residence?

Qualifying legal and continuous residence can potentially contribute to EU Long-Term Resident status.

Coordinate the employer, employment and immigration requirements through one strategy.
