An internship or summer job abroad

Ten weeks waiting tables by the sea in Greece, a boss who talks about a “seasonal permit” and a house pay scale for foreigners. The truth fits in three lines: your identity card covers the stay, no work permit is generally required, and a summer jobber is a worker like any other.

Item no. 1

The list of imaginary papers

Ten weeks of summer work secured at a seaside hotel in Greece: waiting tables, July and August. Your cousin is heading to the same town for an architecture internship.

The manager, thoughtful, sends you both “the list of papers to prepare”.

Email from the managerSubject: papers before your arrival

For the summer job: a seasonal work permit issued by our authorities, to be requested now, the waiting times are long.

For the internship: the European trainee statute, which is applied for online, with the trainee card that goes with it. Without these documents we cannot take you on.
