Where can I get a job working in Turkey, Greece and other parts in Europe over the Summer and into the Fall?
I'm going to be in Turkey in June and am looking to get a job working at a hotel, Bakery/Restaurant, retail/clothing, grocery store, or whatever is available. Volunteering is also a possibility. Later I'll be looking to work in Western Europe as well.

Many young men work as waiters and bar tenders. You can try your luck in that area.

Hersonissos-Crete is a very attractive place to work for the summer season; so much so, that it attracts people from across Europe each and every summer. If you are interested in working in Hersonissos this summer, and you want some information, you can talk to workers from last years. In this way you can get some feedback and exchange opinions and learn all about what Hersonissos has to offer! http://hersonissos-cafe.com/forum/index.php?board=3.0

British permanent residence (indefinite leave to remain) does not give you any of the advantages of the EU status of British citizens. So it does not give you the right to enter or work in other nations. You would need to become a British citizen to be able to do that. Otherwise you would need to obtain work permits for any country you wanted to enter, and you could lose your ILR status.

Put the card in the phone and dial the number you are calling. One thing I have to say about Greek pay phones.....

The problem is not the language,since in touristic areas, many non-Speaking Greeks are working. The problem is that : -Is a little late for that season,usually they hire in the start of a season (around april) -With the job crisis, its even harder to find that time of summer. If you are talking about 2010, then its easy, yeah
2 :
Yes but you will be more luckily in touristic places.They need good English speakers there.
3 :
The language won't be a problem in touristic places, like Santorini, Myconos, Naxos, Paros, Kos, Rhodos. But I can't guarantee that you will find a job, of course! I know many foreigners work in bars and restaurants for the summer in touristic islands, but I don't know how they get the jobs or how many can find such jobs!

A friend of mine was able to get work in spain no problem !!! She only had basic spanish that she picked up from watching dora the explorer !! She went there for three months during the summer !! It was a very last minute thing but she got work in a restaurant during the day and barwork at night !! She came back to Ireland with better spanish than english and a great tan !!
5 :
It is indeed a bit late, but not too late. Do something now! Yes, it is possible to find a job, say in a taverna. By the way, Greek people are usually fond of Irish folks! Good luck.

Most European countries use the same type of power systems, but I would go to a place like radio shack to buy one and ask their opinion. I bought one on a trip to Brazil and it ended up burning out after a while
2 :
Why don't you just ask at the hotel front desk to borrow their hair drier, or iron, or whatever. You don't need an adaptor, because you don't need to carry any appliance that the hotel doesn't already have (they usually have their own computers & Internet too, so no need for a laptop).
3 :
No, you need a different one. here is a tip: Go to Walmart and buy a universal power adapter they only cost 18.99 + tax. (electronics section, by the extension cables, remotes etc.G the kit comes with all the adapters for all the countries in the world. its'a good deal If you go to a travel store they cost double that amount. Been there, Done that!

one which will be smelling of gyros... :-P well seriously now i think all european countries use the same except the UK so the polish-like one will be ok i guess
5 :
The power converter/transformer which your friend bought for Poland may also be used in Greece. Both countries operate under the same voltage system (220-240V/50Hz). You just have to make sure, that the maximum watt the converter is constructed for is not exceeded, means you can not operate a 2000 watt flat-iron with a 500 watt power converter. It may be that you will need a plug adapter to fit the converter into the wall outlet. In Poland, they use the type C and E plugs/outlets from the attached link. In Greece however they use type C, D, E, and F plugs/outlets. So just wait till you arrive there, and see what kind of wall outlets they've got. If the power converter has a type C plug, you are good to go since it will fit in the others as well. If not you can still get an adapter, or just buy a "Greek" plug and install it temporarily on your friend's power converter.

How can I report someone who is illegally working in Greece
How can I report someone who is illegally working in Greece?

Law & Ethics - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Are they your coworker? If you think your coworker threatens your safety, you should tell your supervisor, and if your supervisor doesn't help, go to the next highest manager or Human Resources. That just goes for if the person threatens you at work. I would assume the employer is aware that they have hired an employee illegally. If you don't work at the same company, and you want to get this person out of the country, and they are residing illegally, I'd say it would be sufficient to call the police. I hope that you do not have something personal against this person. For example, I hope this is not an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend who you want to get back at by having them deported. Deportation is more than simply getting kicked out of a country: depending on the nation, the illegal alien could be looking at high fines, incarceration in jail, revocation of passport, and a permanent ban from the country that they obviously would like to reside in. It can ruin the person's life. Having someone deported is a serious matter, and I hope you are doing it for ethical reasons and not personal ones.

Deportation is more than simply getting kicked out of a country: depending on the nation, the illegal alien could be looking at high fines, incarceration in jail, revocation of passport, and a permanent ban from the country that they obviously would like to reside in. It can ruin the person's life. Having someone deported is a serious matter, and I hope you are doing it for ethical reasons and not personal ones.

you have to apply for a work visa from the consolate of the country your going to.
2 :
No working holiday visa to Italy or Greece for Canadians. A possible option would be to WWOOF (especially in Italy), that's working on an organic farm in exchange for food and accomodation. Max. stay is 90 days inside the Schengen area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area http://www.wwoof.org/ http://www.anyworkanywhere.com/ You'd get better answers if you included your qualifications into your question, for some people it is possible to get skilled migrant work visas.

There is a SWAP program for Canadians, but not for Italy or Greece. It's for Germany, France, UK, Ireland, Austria, Australia, Japan, Brazil and South America. http://www.swap.ca/ You are technically not allowed to work on only a Schengen visa, and if you do it's considered to be illegal. Also, there are no skilled migrant visas for Greece or Italy. How do I know this? I've worked in Greece for a long time, and I have non-EU friends in Italy who have been there for a decade. Greece has taken a number of measures to crack down on illegal immigrants, especially those seeking to work on an island for summer. France and Greece are also cooperating to tighten measures and include jail time for violators. A good article written by an American working in Greece for 11 years is: "How non-EU citizens can move, live and work in Greece" http://americaninathens.wordpress.com/2007/04/16/americans-or-other-non-eu-citizens-wanting-to-work-in-greece/ Italy is less stringent about illegal immigrants, and there are people who work there for years without a work visa or permit. There is a good book called, "Living, Working, Studying in Greece" by Travis Ward that details legal and illegal work. The book is based on 10 years there. Accommodations, transportation and food are usually not included, but some people negotiate if it's casual summer work. Read this about summer jobs in Greece: Summer jobs in Greece http://americaninathens.wordpress.com/2008/04/21/summer-jobs-in-greece-faq/ The reason there are no skilled migrant visas for these countries is because: a) there is no call for skilled work, most jobs call for unskilled workers, b) unemployment is already very high for these countries and they must protect their own citizens. I hope that helped.

Need some information on summer work in Greece or Cyprus
Need some information on summer work in Greece or Cyprus?
I am currently living in Canada, but have a British passport, and so i can work over in Europe. I want to go over that way in April to work for about 6-9 months. I've been thinking of one of the Greek Islands, Ibiza or Cyprus as possible destinations. Any opinions on those places to work? I'm also thinking of either being a Holiday Rep through a British company or maybe just going over and finding a bartending job. Opinions on those two jobs? Any other suggestions for possible positions? Does anybody know of any good websites/resources for me to look at in regards to moving out there? Any help is appreciated.

I think the idea of working overseas is great....what a wonderful experience for you. I would contact several resorts in the area and ask about possible jobs. Chances are that they may include housing with a package deal. If you can do that, then it will be much cheaper for you!!!!

Living and working in Greece with an EU child
Living and working in Greece with an EU child?
My child (she is 6) has european union passport as a British citizen through her father my ex husband. Do I(Canadian) qualify to live and work in Greece through her right to free movement) as a family member. If so does anyone know what I should do to get permits??? I know I need to go to the Aliens bureau in Athens, will I automatically qualify and if I do does her step father qualify too?? Any advice would help. Thanks

Rights pass from adult to child, not child to adult. The only way you can live and work in Greece as a non-EU citizen is: a) Claim your own citizenship through an EU country, through an ancestor; b) Prove that you have income coming from outside Greece and live on those funds; c) Secure employment with a Greek employer who will sponsor your work visa and permit, which would entitle you to live and work in Greece. The only way a divorced non-EU spouse of an EU citizen and parent of EU minor can live in Greece is if they already lived in Greece for a minimum number of years and held a permit previous to the divorce. No employer will hire you without a permit, and anyone claiming it can be done is uninformed. Therefore, the only work you can get is illegal work in which you do not get benefits, do not have a permit to live and are subject to deportation. Going to the Alien's Bureau is for people who are non-Greek EU citizens getting a permit, or temporary visitors (without intention to live in Greece) who wish to apply for an extension of their Schengen visa under extenuating circumstances. It's illegal to work in Greece without a permit if you are a non-EU citizen. Her stepfather is not eligible, except by the methods are already listed.

There is a lot of demand to IT personnel in European countries and IT people are easiest to get the working permits issues. However this does not change the fact that you need to find a job to get a working permit. I would recommend starting with preparing a European format CV in English language. Do not exceed two pages and provide as much and as necessary information as possible. I would also add a picture. Then you will need to search for job postings in biggest job sites like www.monster.com, www.hotjobs.com, www.stepstone.com. If you can find something that can fit to your interest and professional skills you need to send your updated CV and start expecting a reply. In case they are interested they would first make an telephone interview and then if that is successful you would be invited for a in person interview. They of course should pay your travel expenses. Generally, after two interviews you receive an offer and if you accept you will need to apply to the embassy of the country where you will work for a work permit. They issue you with an entrance visa which you need to transfer to working permit once you come to Europe to live. Be careful this process takes a lot of time and you need to be persistent and motivated. In average if there is really demand for your skills in Europe you should be able to find a good job and move to Europe within 4-8 months.

Australian with an Ancestral UK Passport working in Greece
Australian with an Ancestral UK Passport working in Greece?
I am an Australian entitled to an Ancestral UK Passport. Am I eligible to work in Greece? Thanks.
Greece - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
There's technically no longer such a thing as an "Ancestral UK Passport." There's a UK passport (which you can only obtain by being a citizen of the UK, whether natural-born or naturalized) or a UK Ancestry Visa. I'm guessing in this case you are referring actually to the visa. I imagine you have a grandparent who was born in the UK, thereby making you eligible for a UK Ancestry Visa. This visa permits you to live and work in the UK for upwards of four years, at which time you can then apply to become a naturalized UK citizen and therefore obtain a UK passport. The Ancestry Visa is valid only for the UK, therefore you are not legally allowed to work in any other European country without first obtaining the proper work visa for the respective country. Only upon becoming a naturalized citizen and obtaining a UK passport would you be allowed to work elsewhere in Europe without the need to obtain a work visa. You may alternatively be eligible to apply for UK citizenship by descent (I can't say as I don't know any details). Only once you have cleared the citizenship process and gotten your passport could you live and work anywhere in Europe. So, in summary: 1) If you have an actual UK passport - meaning you are a citizen of the UK - then you are allowed to work in Greece. 2) If you have the UK Ancestry Visa, but an Australian passport, then you are not eligible to legally work in Greece.
2 :
The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.

Work in Greece
Work in Greece?
My daughter is thinking to look for her first job out of college with a big international company in Greece. She is graduating from a business school in June and is fluent in English, Greek and conversational in French. Anyone has any ideas how to go about it?

I am living in Thessaloniki and yes we have many big companies here Finding a job though may take some time, she must be patient in order to enter big companies, a good method is to contact companies that are looking for personnel in order to full job vacancies its free, you just contact them, send your CV, check out the job vacancies on line and when you find something you like you contact them or if they find something first, they contact you I can provide you some addresses :

Her advantage is of course the fluency in Greek. Yes, she should get a list of international companies in her field of interest and studies and send them CVs (in 100 CVs she will maybe get 3 answers) - a good source are the embassies or the greek-something chambers of commerce (i.e Greek-american http://www.amcham.gr/ ) and she should also check sites like http://europa.eu.int/eures/ http://www.skywalker.gr/ http://karieres.dolnet.gr/wma/karieres.main http://www.stelechi.gr/ http://europa.eu.int/eures/ She should also know that salaries for beginners are peanuts.
My daughter is thinking to look for her first job out of college with a big international company in Greece. She is graduating from a business school in June and is fluent in English, Greek and conversational in French. Anyone has any ideas how to go about it? She prefers Thessaloniki but Athens is fine too I appreciate all the responses

I didn't see any big international companies when I was there, mostly tourist trade.

I am living in Thessaloniki and yes we have many big companies here Finding a job though may take some time, she must be patient in order to enter big companies, a good method is to contact companies that are looking for personnel in order to full job vacancies its free, you just contact them, send your CV, check out the job vacancies on line and when you find something you like you contact them or if they find something first, they contact you I can provide you some addresses :

I'm going to Greece and i need to be able to charge my camera there.. What do I need to get
I'm going to Greece and i need to be able to charge my camera there.. What do I need to get?
My camera charger is not universal power or whatever - only able to charge in US ... what do i need to get to make it work in Greece? power adapter? converter? both? Also, I want to take a hair straightener but I read that even with an adapter/converter it will overheat and break because hair irons, hair dryers use too much power or something... is this true?

You need a converter. 110 Volts to 220 Volts. Go to the nearest shop, get one and you will be fine :-) Yes, irons and other small electrical appliances designed for 110 Volts may overheat due to the different voltage. If you don't spare expenses too much, with less than 30 Euros total you can purchase here in Greece a hair dryer and an iron. Simply leave them behind when you go. Enjoy your stay!!!
2 :
You will need a transformer for your battery charger as they are not supposed to be used with converters. Converters are designed to be used with with hair dryers, curling irons etc. You just have to get one that has a high enough wattage rating to handle your appliances. You will also need a power adapter from USA plug to Greek plug. All that said, check your camera charger closely, as I don't remember the last charger I saw that wasn't dual voltage. We have 1 camera that's 7 years old, it's dual voltage. We finally gave up and don't buy any small appliances that aren't dual voltage.

Greek society today: Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.

the bose acoustimass isn't powered (bose lifestyle is the powered version) so you have nothing to worry about as far as voltage. A far as watts, it is going to work with pretty much any A/V receiver. However, the receiver's volage must be compatible with that of Greece's system. You might need an ac adapter for the receiver to plug into the wall.

Flying from the UK to work in Greece! Any Visas needed
Flying from the UK to work in Greece! Any Visas needed?
Hi! =) I need this question answering not just because I'm writing a story about a girl working abroad, but I'm also hoping to work abroad myself in my gap year! =) So my question is, if you live in a European Country (in this case the UK) and you want to work in another European Country (in this case greece) do you need to do anything? Any paperwork/Visas etc. to get? I've heard that many go on holiday and decide to stay there, but in the case of this story, she has to fly over. Please help! And thank you in advance! =) If you have any other information that may help *things that might not be in this question* please tell me! =) Thank you! =) xx

The UK and Greece are both EC members so no Visa or work permit required. However to survive at least a working knowledge of Greek will be required. It might be OK in the tourist spots to speak only English but once you leave the hotel there is a problem. Don't expect the taxi driver to be fluent in English. Ian M
2 :
Well, you don't need a visa. You have the right to live and work in Greece, since you are a UK citizen. So in other words, you can hop on a plane and just show up! That being said, you do need to go to city hall once you arrive in the place where you'll reside in Greece (or the local Dimos office if you are in a larger city) and do some official paperwork just to register yourself as living in the municipality. You will definitely need to go to the ΔΟΥ office nearest your residence and get your ΑΦΜ number (Greek version of social security) that way you can work. Ian M is really overstating the necessity to know or learn Greek. There are plenty of jobs you can get without knowing a word of Greek (work in an English or Irish pub, work as an English teacher, etc.). I've known people who have lived in Greece for a couple years and still can't say anything more than "hello", "goodbye", "how are you" and get things at stores by pointing and speaking English slowly.
3 :
You can stay for up to 3 months without a residence permit. After that you will need one and proof that you can financially support yourself. For the permit you have to go to the Aliens Bureau (or tourist police). Unofficially you don't need a permit but it is best to have one.

Gophone (in iPhone not unlocked) supposed to work in Greece. but is not
Gophone (in iPhone not unlocked) supposed to work in Greece. but is not?
Alright, so i have this iPhone that contains a simcard for a Go phone (from AT&T) and i was planning on using this on my now trip to greece (where I currently am). I had previously asked the company if my phone will work in Greece and they confirmed it saying that it will as long as I have money on it. So i added 25 dollars (and was about to add more), but then once i arrived in greece all my phone says is "No Service" where the signal bars would go. So i'm asking is there a way I can fix this?? I honestly need my phone to be working here, and if there isn't would I be able to unlock it somehow and use a sim card from voda phone or cosmote?

This is a very common fault if you are on a "Pay as You Go" agreement, something that GoPhone appears to be. Bearing that in mind, many airtime companies do not allow international roaming on such agreements, thus the "No Service" message is displayed. The other problem could be that your telephone is not compatible with European GSM bands, here we use GSM-900, GSM-1800 and EGSM/EGSM-900. whereas the USA uses GSM-850 and GSM-1900. Again this is a common problem. If your phone is compatible with European standards then you will have to pay to get it unlocked - cost unknown as we buy our phones in an unlocked state. Next you would need to buy a SIM card from a local airtime supplier (30 Euros) and add credit to it.
2 :
The bottom line is this.....for you to use a sim card from vodaphone or cosmote, your phone must be UNLOCKED. If you insert a SIM card that the phone does not recognize, you will need to obtain a Subsidy Unlock code for it (the phone will prompt for a Subsidy Code). However, you can only obtain this if you have been a customer in good standing for the past 90 days. Can you contact AT&T from there? Codes are provided within 5 business days. If you don't received it within 5 business days, contact customer care again. BUT TO TELL U THE TRUTH...I don't think that the iphone supports prepaid service. EDIT: The questions and answers on this forum http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t303762-att-go-phone-sim-wont-work-unlocked-phone.html might shed light on your problem. I'm thinking that the gophone sim will not work outside of the original phone. Why don't u just use the gophone? Hey...if nothing else works for you, get a cheap pre-paid phone in Greece....it comes with a Greek sim. You will have a Greek phone number and all your incoming calls will be free.

Where are you from? If it's from the EU, you don't need a work visa. If it's from anywhere else, you will have difficulty. Greece is currently being swamped by illegal migrants, and work visas are not easy to get. Cyprus should be somewhat easier, but I think you'd have difficulty there too. Might I suggest you learn more about these countries before making major life decisions? If you aren't sure what life is like there, you shouldn't be considering a relocation just yet!

I seriously doubt Greece can accept any more immigrants.

There are a number of people within this ''Section!'' who are in dire need of ''personal'' 'training.' Prior to 'going to work' please ensure that you stick them (all together) inside a bubble-bath!! The Degenerate would be awaiting the usual 'responses!!', before deciding whether to 'give a heroes welcome' (apotheosis) to a few of.....the 'bungled and the botched; the expendable mass of 'French lover impersonators' - in possession of a 15-inch tongue (whilst breathing through their ears!!!')

Where are you from? If it's from the EU, you don't need a work visa. If it's from anywhere else, you will have difficulty. Greece is currently being swamped by illegal migrants, and work visas are not easy to get. Cyprus should be somewhat easier, but I think you'd have difficulty there too. Might I suggest you learn more about these countries before making major life decisions? If you aren't sure what life is like there, you shouldn't be considering a relocation just yet!

I seriously doubt Greece can accept any more immigrants.

Temporary work in Greece
Temporary work in Greece?
This summer I would like to work in Greece for six weeks. Although I would love to work longer, I am going into service with the US Air Force on July 19, so I can only be there from mid may to the early part of June. Does anyone know where I could find some work under the table? I lived there last year, so I know a little bit of the language, and I still have a student visa, but it expires in April. Should I renew my student visa and will that increase my chances of getting work, or just let it expire and get the normal 3 month Schnegen visa? I am willing to do just about anything, so if you have ANY tips or leads, that would be great. Sorry, I meant I will be there from mid May to JULY, not june

If you have the possibility to renew your student visa, do so. Having a student visa permits you to LEGALLY work part-time. This way at least you'll have work permission, so 1) you're much more likely to be hired and 2) if the police swing by and do a document check, you'll have documents, and you can just lie and say you work part-time - it'd be virtually impossible for the police to prove otherwise. As you are probably aware - since you mention working under the table - on the regular 3-month (90 days, actually) deal, you aren't allowed to legally work. And since you lived here before, I'm sure you understand how it's becoming virtually impossible to find illegal work here thanks to the ever increasing police checks. Even with papers, it'll be somewhat difficult (though certainly not impossible) to find someone willing to hire you for such a short period. I suppose you could just lie to them, telling them you'll work the whole season then just bail on them when you need to leave. Personally I couldn't do that, I'd feel too guilty, but to each his own. So, as for a lead, I don't have any, sorry. However, there was an American girl who posted a question here a month or so ago, and she stated that she had worked illegally here last summer. She didn't say where she worked exactly, but if you're able to find her question in the resolved questions section (assuming it wasn't deleted) you could contact her and maybe she could give you some ideas.

is there any work in Greece
is there any work in Greece?
i am an american citizen, i have always wanted to move to greece. i love the people that i have met from there, i have never been but i have seen pictures, and since i was a little kid i have wanted to move there for several reasons. i only have labor experience from working in a factory in the summer transition from high school to college, and i do not have much other work experience because i was an athlete in high school and i did'nt really have time so how is the job market in greece? i know it depends from city to city but its cool with me, whatever you can tell me is cool. what kind of work is there in greece? do they have any cheap colleges in greece? i hope i do not sound ignorant or foolish for asking these questions, but i am just curious, and i dont know anything about the countries economy, and by my previous question i was asked if i was middle eastern, no i am not middle eastern. so please help if you can give me some good information on my questions. thanks to anyone who can help

There is a similar question also posted currently in this section, so I'll give the same answer that I gave the other: Questions to you, Mister Questioner (and please don't take offense, I'm just trying to give you a heads-up): 1)Do you have any Greek blood in you yourself (i.e., are your parents or grandparents Greek)? 2) Do you have a residency permit for any EU country already? 3) Will you obtain a visa (a work visa or student visa) prior to arrival in Greece? If you have no Greek heritage, have no current EU residency permit or citizenship, have no work visa or student visa for Greece, then you are only allowed to live in Greece technically for 90 days, at which point you must leave the E.U. for 90 days before you may return. Also, during those 90 days you will not be allowed to LEGALLY work (and finding illegal work is becoming more and more difficult). Be aware that visas must be obtained through the Greek embassy in the country of your nationality prior to your arrival in Greece (so in your case, at the Greek embassy or a Greek consulate in the USA). You are not able to obtain visas from within Greece. Obtaining a residency permit while in Greece is contingent upon having either 1) Greek heritage, 2) EU citizenship/a current EU residency permit, 3) a valid visa, or 4) a marriage with an EU citizen. To acquire a work visa, you would first have to find a company located in Greece willing to hire you and do all the necessary paperwork and pay all the required expenses. The process generally takes upwards of a year. Due to the fact you have virtually no work experience and (presumably) don't speak Greek, finding a company to hire you is basically an impossibility. It's almost impossible even for those non-Greek Americans who have lots of work experience and do speak Greek. The easiest route to go, then, is through a student visa. You'd first need to find a Greek university that has open places for foreign students, and where courses are taught in English (since, once again, I'm assuming you don't speak Greek). If you find such a university (they do exist), then you just go through the application and enrollment process as structured by the university; once accepted, you'll be sent the necessary papers in order to obtain a student visa. Note that in the case of your coming to Greece for studies, however, that once your studies end, so too will your legal residency in Greece. At that point either you'd have to obtain a work visa or a new student visa, or be married to an EU or Greek citizen.

It sounds like you do not already have a green card or any sort of work permit lined up. In that case, you will not be able to do this. You would need a visa valid for employment. That means an H visa. While you meet the advanced degree requirement for an H visa, you still will not be able to get one. An employer would have to prove that there are no Americans who can do your job before they could get a visa for you. They will not be able to do that. Your degree is a dime a dozen. There are thousands of out of work Americans with your degree who could do the job you want. There is no way that you can get a visa while that is still true.

Ignore the "plug is a plug" answer. First, you won't be able to just plug it in. The plugs are physically different. A US plug simply will not fit in an outlet in Europe or many other areas of the world. This part of the problem is easy. A plug adapter costs maybe $5 for a high quality grounded model, $1 or so for a cheap ungrounded,. Second, and this is much more serious, there is a voltage problem. Your US-bought device expects 120 volts maximum from the wall outlet. The outlet in Greece will supply 240 volts. Voltage in electricity is a little like pressure in a water pipe: Too much pressure and the pipe will burst. Similarly, two times the expected voltage will quickly burn out many devices (not to mention create a fire hazard). Some devices such as laptop computers do commonly come with "universal" power supplies - that's the "power brick" in the middle of the cord - that can handle anything from 100 volts to 240 volts. To know for certain, check your device (or its power adapter) carefully. Look for the power input spec; it should be near where the power cord entersw the unit. If it has a "universal" supply it will say something like "100-240V, 50-60 Hz AC". That means it will work anywhere in the world (with a plug adapter). My electric shaver does this too, and it doesn't have a separate power adapter. The "universal" power supply is built right in. A few devices have 120/240 voltage switches. My hair dryer is like that. But I don't carry it for travel; most hotels have them. If your device does not say that, and does not have a 120/240 switch, you must assume it can only run on 120 volts (i.e .US current) and will need a voltage adapter to run on 240. Good adapters are called "transformers." They are neither cheap nor lightweight. There are cheap and lightweight gadgets sold in travel stores called "voltage converters", only $20 or so for one that will handle up to 1500 watts, but they do not work very well and can actually cause damage to a lot of equipment. I wouldn't use one for anything more complicated than a light bulb, and I would *never* leave the vicinity with one of these things plugged in. Yet another problem is that the frequency of the alternating current is different. The US uses "60 Hz" power, most other places use 50 Hz. Very few devices you're likely to be carrying will care about this, but if one of yours does, there really is no reasonably priced way to do the conversion.

To work ? Here ? LOL ! Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.

To work ? Here ? LOL ! Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade.

Technically as an American we are unable to acquire jobs (legally speaking) unless a Greek company applies for our visa... So if you have some professional job skills that might be able to get you there just try applying for businesses that are in your field via most internet job websites... On the other hand, if don't to much care about the legal side of things, I recommend just travelling there for a few weeks (mostly on the islands) and asking bars, hostels, hotels, restaurants and night clubs if they have any live in work. Finding jobs "under the table" is incredibly easy. Trust me I've done it ;-)

EU citizen wanting to work in Greece
EU citizen wanting to work in Greece...?
Hi there!! Im an EU citizen and I want to work in Greece starting next summer. I am a qualified English teacher (EFL/ESL) but is that the only thing I can do in Greece? What are some other creative options a native English speaker can do there? I mean in the mainland, not on the islands. Maybe in some small city or large town...And I have no knowledge of the Greek language, yeah I know its a disadvantage but anyways... =( Thanx =)

You have a great advantage by having EFL/ESL so use that to get your foot in the door! It's a good way to start life in Greece as schools normally supply an apartment with this job for foreigners. From this move you can see what other options you have - however you have the best option right there - it's a very respected job, and therefore you will fit and be accepted totally into the community. Great that you've chosen the mainland, I prefer Epirus to everywhere else in Greece .... although Athens was great fun as a young single girl ...... in smaller towns everyone knows everyone elses business. Good luck Have a look at this site http://www.anglo-hellenic.com/

It depends on the job. If you'll work with people who speak your language, that wouldn't be so much trouble. But anyways, you'll need to interact with the natives, so, I'd say: yes, it's necessary.

Yep sure is. The United States of America is the only place on earth where you don't need to speak a word of the country's language or assimilate in any other way. We are supposed to accommodate anything any one else does in this country. We wouldn't want to offend anyone, now would we?

i wouldnt hire you if you didnt speak german. i wouldnt suggest you coming here at all, without speaking the language, even though english is spoken almost everywhere. i mean seriously, you dont have to speak it perfectly (or not even good, i dont care), but i just think it´s very disrespectful to live and/or work in any country without being able to communicate unless you´ve got a real reason for it (such as falling in love with someone there or sth like that)

I know Americans can't work work in Greece with going through a long process, but I'm planning on living there. I want to become a Historian, so I wouldn't be working in Greece only, I'd work for anyone who needs my help. Can I do that with out going through the process or do I have to do that?

Americans can't live or work in Greece (or anywhere in the EC for that matter) without the almost impossible to obtain work permits and residence permits. It's for exactly the same reasons that EC citizens can't go and work in the USA. If you're unhappy about this I suggest you take it up with Mr Obama.
2 :
Try the British Arcaeological School of Athens, this is their website. http://www.bsa.ac.uk/ They also have a branch, face to the entrance of the Palace of Knossos, in Heraklion, Crete. I would like so much to work there! Absolutely inspiring. I' ve seen them while working in their open air labs, and wished to be one of them. And last but not least for your case: english speaking.
3 :
Unfortunately, it's almost impossible. Greece is not an "immigration country" (i.e. a place that encourages foreigners to come and live). Aside from EU citizens, immigration is possible but very difficult. You would have to first get a residency permit that allows you to work. A single short-term permit (6 months or a year) might be possible, but permanent residence (10 years, after which you can get citizenship) is unlikely to be given. So you'd have to do what most foreign historians do: live in your home country but spend a couple of months a year working in Greece. These kinds of arrangements are normal for people in academia. Ironically (and sadly), you'd have a better chance at a residency permit if you went to Greece illegally, like many illegal migrants have discovered. Apparently if you wait around long enough, the government gets shamed into opening the doors to you.

Is it cheaper to get around Greece with bus or train
Is it cheaper to get around Greece with bus or train?
I'm thinking about going to Greece in May for two weeks. Is it cheaper to get a Eurail pass for Greece or to take the bus? How does the bus system work in Greece if I want to travel city to city?
Greece - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The rail lines don't go everywhere (state where you want to go) - best to just use long distance buses. From Athens (Kiffisou) you can get the bus to anywhere on the mainland - it used to be dirt cheap but now it's quite expensive due to the petrol prices which went sky high - even though the price of petrol has decreased the bus tickets haven't. Local transport within a city is still very inexpensive.
2 :
Well, where in Greece are you planning on going? I went there this summer, but I went on an island hop, and I know that some islands had better transportation systems than others. If you want to travel city to city, I know some bus systems did that but others were only local, so you might want to do some research or buy a travel guide like lonely planet, or a Rick Steve's guide. The buses I did ride on cost from 1.40 to 2.30 euros, but i did not do extensive travel on the buses. I think the buses I was on were local. I personally went on a island hop though a tour company called EF College Break, that was just very easy. I think the cost of the tour is around 3,000, but it depends where you are flying out from because it included airfare, hotels, and transfers. If that interests you, my discount code West2009 saves you $50 off any trip. If not, I really don't remember trains, though I sure if you are on the mainlands or Athens there are some. I just remember buses, but we were on the islands alot. Good luck, and may I suggest tring another forum like Fondors or TripAdviser if you do not get the info you need here. I have used them in the past, and there are people that frequent there that have traveled alot. Have a great time on your trip!

Go to the Greek islands around March. Pick the touristic ones. many Greeks look for personnel to run their business. Must speak English (any other language is also desirable). Depending on your qualifications and the job, you should expect something between 700-1200 euros/month. Places: Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete and Corfu. Avoid Athens: tough life, expensive.
