⚠ Scam Warning — Read Before You Apply
- Never pay any fee for a Greece work visa or “EU work permit” — a genuine employer sponsors it.
- Do not share passport copies or pay agents on WhatsApp/Telegram for a “guaranteed” job.
- Verify the employer on official Greek / EU portals (EURES) before paying anything.
- Real employers never ask for money via personal bank accounts or crypto.
- Confirm the signed work contract and permit in writing before travelling to Greece.
Disclaimer: Salary figures are indicative gross monthly ranges based on EU / Greece recruitment listings (EURES, Skywalker.gr, Kariera.gr, Indeed Greece — 2026). Actual income depends on the employer, role, experience, region, tips and overtime. Greece is an EU country; a non-EU candidate needs an employer-sponsored work visa and residence/work permit.
