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!!!!

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.

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.

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.
