Hi everyone. I know this is a sports forum so I'm sorry to be posting questions which are not sports related but i'm hoping someone can provide me with some information please. i'm a British citizen as is my family and my father is cypriot while my mother is english. all of us have british citizenship but none of us have cypriot citizenship (my dad's expired years ago - he's been living in the uk for 30 years). As a family we are planning to emigrate to greece next summer, or definately within the next 5 years. Does anyone know if we have to take any legal steps to do this? do we need a visa for example? If so is it a plain card visa, an rfid chip visa, or a biometric visa; and does this play a role in how we go about getting one? I've called up the Greek embassy in England but they weren't very helpful, they just told me to email a particular lady in charge of these things, but she's never bothered to reply.
I've also heard that in Spain they will only grant a foreigner residency if they have a job lined up before they move there, is it the same in Greece? I'd really appreciate any help/advice any of you could give me about what I need to know.
P.S. as mentioned i know this might not be appropriate for a sports forum and i hope i havent annoyed the mods but i've lived in england all my life and dont know too many greeks so apart from the embassy which hasnt been helpful i dont know who else i can ask for advice. thanks guys, i really appreciate you taking the time to read this. :)
