Hope I can get some info about Overstaying in Greece.
I am Greek-Canadian (Born in Canada, but I have NOT yet Exercised my Greek Citizenship) since it involves a Military Obligation. I don't mind doing my Military Obligation (I believe it is only 3 months since I was born in Canada), but I have some Medical Problems that may not allow me to Enter the Military and I would need to deal with all those steps, that we take a long time, Greece is a nightmare of Red Tape.
The plan is to move there permanently, but I would need to work somewhere, I have applied at a few places and I get responses (well, I did before the Big Time Problems Started) and I was always asked if I had my Military Release Papers
..Answer being NO
..they would just tell me to reapply when I did. So, I have or had employers interested in hiring me, but as you can see
this is the above problem.
Even with all the Economic Problems going on right now, I still want to go to Greece to try it out, but give it a REAL TRY, so I am prepared to work (if I can find any kind of job) at anything. Now, to do that I would need to settle in FIRST before going to the Army, so this will take a long time and my 6 months may expire.
I was thinking if I go and get a job that does NOT require Military Release Papers and I just lay low until I get my Papers will that be a problem? What can really happen to me? Can I still get IKA? Will I have to keep looking over my shoulder?
Thanks!!!
