Ministry of the Interior in Greece presented new
regulations on Monday relevant to immigrants. According to Greek Minister, Yannis Michelakis, the documents for issuing a residence
permit to foreigners were 50, and now reduced to 19 in a difficult effort to
decrease bureaucracy.
In addition, this new regulation allows a residency
permit for children of legal immigrants, in this way facilitating the children
of the second generation.
A long term residence has been institutionalized so
that immigrants will be able to leave from Greece
to look for employment in another EU country, without being trapped within
Greek borders. This license is given based on the European Directive and is
following the European legislation; which is an innovation in immigrant’s
issue.
The procedure of accepting young foreigners is changing
according to the needs of the Greek labor market. Additionally, special
expedited procedures for entry and residence of foreigners are taking place in
order to promote investment and development.
Another prediction of Law Code is concerning the economic crisis and so that long-term unemployed residents in Greece would not necessarily
be illegal.
