Researcher Residence

Research and innovate in Greece

Researcher Residence is available to qualifying third-country nationals carrying out research with an eligible recognised Greek organisation.

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

Core Framework

Researcher + recognised host + hosting agreement

Residence is generally linked to the duration of the hosting agreement.

Researchers can potentially teach where permitted under Greek law.

Qualifying family can potentially receive residence linked to the researcher.

Specific mobility rules can support qualifying research in participating states.

Assess qualifications and proposed activity.

Confirm the organisation's eligibility.

Coordinate the central project agreement.

Prepare academic, financial and insurance evidence.

Coordinate entry and residence procedures.

Plan family, mobility and post-research options.

Do I need a hosting agreement?

Yes. It is central to the researcher pathway.

Can any company host a researcher?

No. The host must satisfy the applicable recognition and approval requirements.

Can I remain after the project?

Potentially through another qualifying route, which should be assessed before the project ends.

Coordinate your host organisation, project and immigration pathway.
