How can I get a visa to work in Greece ?
I live in France since 2004, and now the new government ( Sarkozy) want to throw out all illegal workers. But I am innocent, I am honest, I just work, that's all ! But Sarkozy had promised to the voters that he would throw out all the illegal residents, and now I'm so scared. I don't know what to do now! I am Senegal citizen,single,28 years old,and I am a construction worker. I don't speak greek, but of course I want to learn it !! I also speak english, french. I am very serious and honest, I can work very hard, no problem. I know that Greeks are very kind people, very smart country, maybe you can help me. I am read to do construction works, or restaurants,or security guard work, or even cleaning the streets, I can do anything, no problem ! Please give me advice , how can I get visa and documents to work in Greece? I know there are not a lot of foreigners in your country, and I think you can host me, and I will be very hard worker! And I am single too ! Please help me please !

Dear, you are not well informed... Greece has a big problem with immigration, there are so many immigrants nowdays that they are unable to find any kind of work ...

Actually you are wrong : There are a lot of foreigners in Greece. About 1mill in 10mill local population... that is 10%! To get a green card nowadays is rather hard and takes a lot of time. Especially now that Bulgaria and Romania joined EU, a lot of workers came from there, so most of the work you are willing to do is covered. I would advise you to stay put in France and see what happens... Politicians tend to forget what they have promised very soon ....

I think that you should ask the Greek embassy.They should know the steps you could take. But unfortunately what I know is that all people who come here have many difficulties in getting a green card. I really hope that everything works out for you the way you want it!

I would agree with Edoardo and Kimon... Because the problem with the immigrants is big here, those who came from ex comunist countries are so many, and the salary dont think that it is going to be high...and at the beginning maybe without insurance...For your own good, it is better to stay where you are..
