- Do holders of a residence permit have the right to work in Greece?
No, they don't. This residence permit does not give the holder access to any work as an employee. In this case, the concept of an employee does not include the pursuit of any economic activity as a shareholder or CEO of companies established prior to the application for a residence permit. This exception to economic activity refers to third- country citizens who are shareholders or directors of any kind of capital company (S.A., Ltd., I.C.E.). Their family members have the same limitations on civil service.
