No there are not open work permit in Greece. EU nationals don’t need a work permit to work in Greece. But non EU do need a visa to work in Greece. The only way for a non EU to get work in Greece if an employer offers you a job. Greece updated its residency laws at the beginning of 2006 and has continued to do so since then. Any non-European national wanting to work in Greece needs to have their employer file a request for an opinion on the use of foreign labor prior to his/her arrival in Greece. Following filing of the request, the Ministry of Labor determines whether they want to have a non-EU person to do a job. The file is then forwarded to the local police for their OK. Following approval, the file is forwarded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which grants a favorable opinion and authorizes the Greek Consulate with jurisdiction over the applicant’s usual place of residence to issue the right visa. After arrival in the country, a residency permit is issued. These are issued for one year, and this is renewable up to five times. Some information suggests that nationals who do not require an entry visa may be issued a work permit within two to three months. Nonetheless, you'll all but have to get the right entry visa since local officials don't seem to allow conversions of status
