Work & Visas

How do I find work?
You can find work through a recruitment agency, or by searching independently.
Can I find work while in-country?
Given the abundance of agencies, it isn’t easy to find a job on-the-spot, although it may be possible in smaller towns. Alternatively, you could contact the Panhellenic Federation of Language School Owners for a list of frontisteria.
What is the usual hiring process?
Send off your CV either to agencies or directly to frontisteria. At the interview, make sure you’re smartly-dressed and friendly, as this can be the difference between getting a job and going home empty-handed.
Is a work visa required to find paid work in?
The reality is that US, Australian and New Zealand citizens have great difficulty competing with the hordes of EU passport-holders who don’t need a visa. If you live outside of Europe, you’ll need the support of a willing employer. However, all teachers need to get a teacher’s license and residence permit.
Work visa requirements:
  • Job offer
  • Health certificate
  • Translated Bachelor’s degree certificate
  • Valid passport
