The Greek economy faces significant labour shortages, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, construction and tourism. In order to meet these needs, the Greek state has established the procedure of recruiting workers from third countries, allowing employers to recruit foreign workers legally. This procedure is regulated each year by means of an official decree, which determines the maximum number of permitted recruitments.
What is Employee Invitation and why it is important
Recruitment is the process through which employers in Greece can hire third-country nationals to fill vacancies. The aim is to maintain the viability and growth of businesses, particularly in sectors where there is a shortage of domestic labour.
For 2025, according to the FEK 10203/30.12.2024, a maximum number of 89,290 jobs for third-country nationals has been set. These posts are divided into:
- Dependent work: 41.670 seats
- Seasonal work: 45,620 seats
- Highly skilled employment: 2.000 seats
The recall allows businesses to meet their needs without delays, while giving workers the opportunity to work legally in Greece with full employment rights.
What are the Requirements for Conversion
Employers wishing to recruit workers through posting must meet certain criteria:
- Signing of an annual employment contract with a minimum gross salary of 830 euros
- Income tax statement with gross income of at least 22,000 euros for individuals or 60,000 euros for businesses
- Proof of the relevance of the employee's specialisation to the activity of the undertaking
Which Positions are covered by Invitation
The specialties that may be covered through the recruitment process include:
- Unskilled agricultural, livestock and logging workers
- Building and construction workers
- Factory and food industry workers
- Hotel and office cleaners
- Domestic helpers and carers of the elderly
- Catering staff (kitchen assistants, food preparers)
