About this Visa

This visa moves you from your job abroad to work at the same company's office in Greece. You work for one to three years, then must leave or switch to a different visa. Your company handles most of the paperwork. You need to have worked for them at least 6–12 months already. You can bring your spouse and children. The Greek government made this visa slower and harder in March 2024 because they prefer other visa types.
