OBS_VALUE: According to the previous Code of Immigration and Social Integration (Law 4251/2014), Article 17 provided that entry and residence were permitted to managers, representatives, shareholders, members of the BoD of resident companies (or branches of foreign companies having commercial activity in Greece) only when the resident company occupied at least 25 employees; this specific extract was added on 9.07.2015. In addition, third-country nationals -employed to provide technical support or engage in product promotion- must have proved at least two years of work experience (Article 17, case d). These references are not included in the new Code of Immigration (Law 5038/2023) that entered into force on 31 March 2024.
