Application Process
Within 30 days of arriving in Greece, your employees must go to their local municipal office or police station and apply for a work permit in-person. The work permit they need depends on what position they have, and this can also impact how long the permit will be valid. The basic application steps include:
- Obtaining a tax number from the local tax office and a social security number from the Social Security Institute
- Filling out a residence permit form in Greek and submitting in-person or through a certified lawyer with power of attorney
- Showing a copy of a visa, passport, passport photos, certificate of medical insurance, and a
- Health certificate from a state hospital
- Proving a local address, ability to support oneself, and payment of the required fee
After completing these steps, your employees will get a blue form that acts as a receipt showing the application is being processed. They can begin working for you as soon as they get this form.
