Pay
Earnings of the occupation group "Professionals" in Greece: ≈ 1,345 EUR/month (gross, 2022), from Eurostat. An occupation group is wider than one job title: it is the pay of everyone the group holds, not of engineers alone.
EU Blue Card salary threshold
Greece publishes a current EU Blue Card threshold of 31,919 €/year. It is the minimum salary for that work route, not what engineers earn.

- Recognition route
- General system of recognition - primary application. Apply to TEE under the applicable engineering specialty and Directive 2005/36/EC; the source requires qualification documents, possible professional-status evidence and TEE registration. Exact requirements depend on specialty and origin.
