Moving to the Greece: What You Need to Know

Greece is a member of the EU and Schengen Area, which means visa and residence permit requirements vary based on your nationality and the length of your stay. EU citizens don’t need a visa to live or work in Greece, while non-EU nationals will need to apply for a long-stay visa and residence permit. Learning some Greek will go a long way in easing your integration, although English is widely spoken in major cities. At Compass Relocation, we’ll help you handle legalities, find housing, and settle in with ease.
