Διαδικασία εργασίας στην Ελλάδα για Σέρβους πολίτες
Αν σχεδιάζετε να εργαστείτε στην Ελλάδα, είναι σημαντικό να προετοιμαστείτε έγκαιρα για τη διαδικασία βίζας. Με καλή οργάνωση, όλα μπορούν να ολοκληρωθούν χωρίς μεγάλες δυσκολίες.
Σημαντικό: η διαδικασία πρόσληψης ξένων εργαζομένων στην Ελλάδα ξεκινά πάντα από τον εργοδότη. Ο υποψήφιος δεν μπορεί να αποκτήσει άδεια εργασίας ανεξάρτητα — ο εργοδότης υποβάλλει αίτηση στις αρμόδιες ελληνικές αρχές και μετά την έγκριση τη διαβιβάζει στην Ελληνική Πρεσβεία στο Βελιγράδι.
Before starting the process, check whether your passport is valid. It must be valid for at least one year and have at least three blank pages. Without meeting these conditions, you cannot continue the process.
Ελέγξτε το διαβατήριό σας
Your passport must be valid for at least one year (ideally longer) and have at least three blank pages. We recommend checking this at the very beginning.

These documents do not require additional translation or certification.
Ιατρική εξέταση
A medical examination is required using the official form available on the Greek Embassy website. The form is printed in Serbian and completed by a general practitioner — it must be fully and correctly filled out. Prices start from around 15,000 RSD.
The examination includes:
- –Laboratory (blood and urine analysis)
- –Abdominal ultrasound
- –Chest X-ray

A multi-entry policy is recommended — approximately €22,000 RSD and provides greater flexibility. A single-entry policy costs approximately 14,000 RSD.
Κλείστε ραντεβού στην Ελληνική Πρεσβεία
Once you have collected all the required documentation, schedule an appointment at the embassy. On the day of the appointment, you must bring your passport. The visa fee is paid at the embassy and amounts to approximately €180.
Η συμβουλή μας
Collect documents in parallel — court, police, doctor, and insurance — to avoid unnecessary delays. Once you receive confirmation of approval from your employer, contact the embassy immediately as waiting times may be longer during busy periods.
Τι γίνεται μετά την πρεσβεία;
After the employer submits and receives approval of the application, they forward it to the Greek Embassy in Belgrade. The employee comes to the scheduled appointment with complete documentation, signs the employment contract, and pays the fee. The D visa decision is usually made within a few days.
The D visa for work in Greece is issued for up to 91 days and serves as an entry visa to begin work. It is recommended to organize entry into Greece on the date the visa starts, which is aligned with the start date of the employment contract.
Important: do not enter the country before the visa start date, as entry may be treated as tourism, which can affect further procedures. For example, if the visa starts on April 30 — enter on April 30, never on April 29.
Κατά την άφιξη στην Ελλάδα
You must submit an application to the competent Directorate for Foreigners and Migration. Exact location information is provided by the employer or lawyer. Submit a copy of the entire passport (all pages), not just the pages with stamps.
Before submitting the application, you must pay an administrative fee (e-paravolo) of approximately €150, which can be paid at a bank or post office.
Μπορεί δικηγόρος να χειριστεί όλη τη διαδικασία;
Yes. If an authorized lawyer handles the entire process, the procedure can be simplified. After entry, the employee sends scanned photos of all passport pages to the lawyer, signs a power of attorney certified at the KEP, and the lawyer then submits the application for the electronic certificate of residence and work.
Estimated legal fees for the entire process are approximately €700 + VAT.
