Second Pass

Working Holiday Visa in Greece

The Verdict: Not eligible

The age limit is in the treaty, so from 31 the working holiday route is closed. Look at our Digital Nomad, Retirement or Skilled Migration quizzes, and Citizenship by Descent if you have Greek ancestry.

The arrangement rests on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Canberra on 14 May 2014 and ratified by article 1 of Law 4353/2015. It offers 500 places a year, to people who have turned 18 and not yet turned 31, for up to twelve months, and needs a degree or at least two completed years of undergraduate study. Age is assessed when you apply, with no extensions.

The income permits have no age limit: the digital nomad permit for €3,500 a month earned from outside Greece (applied for at a Greek consulate before you travel), or the financially independent person permit for the same in passive income. A job offer gives a three-year single work permit. Our Digital Nomad, Retirement and Skilled Migration quizzes cover them.

A descent claim has no age limit and gives citizenship.
