Can international students stay in Greece after completing their studies at ELGS?

Non-EU citizens who entered Greece for studies or research may remain in Greece for one year after completing their studies or research with a Type H.11 residence permit in order to seek employment or establish a business. Students who complete a higher education or research programme in Greece may have the possibility to remain in the country for a limited period after graduation, with this post-study residence option usually allowing graduates to stay in Greece for up to one year after finishing their studies

What are the working rights for students during and after their studies?

Residence permits are granted equal to the duration of studies, with the right to part-time employment with increased weekly working hours of 20 hours, up from 15. Non-EU graduates who hold a qualifying job offer can apply to convert their study residence permit into a work-type residence permit, while EU/EEA graduates can stay and work without restrictions, on equal terms with Greek citizens and without needing to switch permits. For non-EU/EEA graduates, after receiving a qualifying job offer, they can apply to switch from a study residence permit to a work-type residence permit, and in some cases, they can also apply for a job-search or self-employment permit.
