The importance of your Contract of Employment
You will need your employment contract in order to apply for full residency, your social security number (IKA - Idrima Kinonikon Asfaliseon) and anything else that requires proof of income or a credit agreement. Your employer should apply for an IKA number on your behalf.
If you do not have an employment contract you will be working illegally and could be sent home. More information can be found about this on our "living in..." Tax registration with the authorities).
