Student Residence

Study, live and build your future in Greece

Student Residence supports third-country nationals admitted to eligible Greek higher-education programmes.

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

Core Requirements

Admission to any private course does not automatically create Student Residence eligibility.

Employment can be possible under Greek law, but student status is not an unlimited work permit.

Specific rules can apply to eligible EU or multilateral programmes.

Graduates can assess employment, Blue Card, research or entrepreneurship routes.

Study periods receive special proportional treatment and should not automatically be counted in full.

Check the institution, course and admission.

Assess current means requirements.

Coordinate admission, insurance and personal evidence.

Complete the national student visa where required.

Coordinate the study permit after entry.

Plan the next route before student status ends.

Can any school support Student Residence?

No. The institution and programme must satisfy immigration requirements.

Can I work while studying?

Potentially under applicable conditions; it is not unrestricted employment permission.

Do study years count fully toward long-term residence?

Not automatically. Study periods receive special treatment.

Coordinate admission, residence and your post-study pathway from the beginning.
