How early should I apply for a Greece work permit before my job start date?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently accepted a job offer in Greece, and my employer has mentioned starting the Greece work permit process soon. I’m trying to plan my timeline properly and want to understand how early the application should be submitted before my official joining date.

Does the Greece work permit process usually take a few weeks or several months? Should I wait for employer approval first, or can I begin preparing documents immediately? I want to avoid any delays that could affect my relocation plans.

If anyone has recently gone through the Greece work permit process, please share how long it took in your case and when you started the application.

Thank you for your guidance!
