Pathway overview
For non-EU highly qualified workers with a binding job offer at Greece's confirmed salary threshold.
Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need a binding job offer for highly qualified employment, a recognized higher-education qualification (or equivalent proven professional experience), and a minimum gross annual salary of €31,918.83 — the most recently confirmed figure (2024, 1.6x Greece's average gross annual salary, the maximum multiplier EU law permits). A more recent 2026 figure could not be confirmed from a trustworthy source, so this checker uses the last confirmed number rather than an unverified one. Classified as an E.1 residence permit, administered by the Ministry of Migration and Asylum. Under Law 5275/2026, validity increased from 2 to 3 years, renewable for 3 more years each time.
