Greece and India signed a migration and mobility agreement precisely because Greek agriculture, construction and tourism cannot staff themselves locally. For employers, the working route is the invitation-based permit — metaklisi — filed against regional quotas.
Step 1: The Invitation Filing
The employer files the metaklisi invitation for named roles against the regional quota decision. Quotas specify sectors and counts; we align your filing with the current allocation so it lands inside an open category.
Step 2: Selection
Video interviews with verified candidates — harvest crews with agricultural experience, construction trades, hotel and kitchen staff.
Step 3: Entry Visa
Approved workers obtain the national visa at the Greek mission in India with our documentation support.
Step 4: Arrival and Residence
Workers fly after Indian emigration clearance; the residence permit completes in Greece while work begins. Seasonal agriculture should file 3–4 months before the season.
Costs
Per-worker recruitment fee, state and consular fees, airfare. Agricultural employers typically provide on-site accommodation — a condition we verify and brief workers on before departure.
The Agreement's Real Meaning
The bilateral framework signals that Indian workers are a recognised, prioritised answer to Greek shortages — quotas increasingly reflect it. Sectors and FAQs on the Greece hiring page; share your seasonal or year-round requirement and we will map it to the quota calendar.
