Driver Opportunities Across Greece
Greek transport centres on Piraeus and Thessaloniki port traffic, tourism coach operations with sharp seasonal peaks, agricultural exports and corridor freight towards Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
FastDriver.eu lets a driver build a single profile, set out licence categories and qualifications, and apply directly to published vacancies.
The platform is open to drivers of every nationality. The right to create a profile is different from the legal right to work in Greece. Every applicant must meet the requirements of the position and hold the necessary work authorisation, residence status, driving licence and professional qualification.
FastDriver.eu does not employ drivers and does not make the final hiring decision. It operates as a driver job portal that helps candidates and employers connect more efficiently. You can browse the driver jobs currently published for Greece at any time.
Driver Roles You Can Apply For
Greek employers publish work across freight, passenger transport, delivery and specialised operations. Check the licence, qualification and experience stated in each vacancy before applying.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Passenger transport involving city buses, coaches, tourism routes, private transport and other authorised services. The required D or DE licence and professional qualification depend on the position.
Delivery and Courier Drivers
Parcel, food, retail, medical and business delivery work. Requirements may include a valid Category B licence, local route knowledge, customer communication and safe delivery experience.
Van and Distribution Drivers
Van based distribution covering depot to store runs, trade supply and multi drop routes. Entitlement depends on the vehicle weight and whether a trailer is towed.
Taxi and Private Hire Drivers
Taxi and private hire driving for drivers who hold the necessary licence plus the separate Greek passenger transport authorisation.
Chauffeurs and Private Drivers
Executive and private driving for businesses, hotels, event operators and individual clients. Discretion, presentation and reliable timekeeping are usually expected.
Shuttle and Transfer Drivers
Airport, hotel, tourism, employee and passenger transfer work. The required licence depends on the vehicle and the passenger capacity.
Specialised Vehicle Drivers
Tankers, refrigerated vehicles, construction vehicles, recovery vehicles, waste collection, dangerous goods and other specialised operations for appropriately qualified drivers.
Availability changes constantly. Only positions shown as live vacancies are currently open for applications.
Who Can Create a Driver Profile?
Greek citizens, EU citizens, EEA citizens, Swiss citizens and third country nationals may create a FastDriver.eu driver profile.
Drivers may register while living in Greece, in another European country or outside Europe.
A complete profile should accurately show your nationality, current residence, work authorisation, driving licence categories, qualifications, experience, language ability, preferred work location and availability.
Creating a profile does not guarantee that every candidate can legally take every driver position. Eligibility depends on the job, the vehicle, the licence category, the employer requirements and the law in Greece.
Employers across Attica Region, Central Macedonia Region, Thessaly Region, Western Greece Region, Crete Region and Central Greece Region publish work through the portal, so select the regions where you can realistically travel or relocate.
Driver Work by Regions in Greece
Greece has 13 Regions. Transport activity differs from one region to the next. Choose the area you could realistically work in to see what applies locally.
Driving Licence Categories for Different Roles
The licence required in Greece depends on the vehicle, the authorised weight, the trailer and the passenger capacity. Always check the category stated in the vacancy.
Category B generally covers cars, taxis, chauffeur work, delivery vehicles and light vans within the legal Category B limits. Category BE may be required for certain Category B vehicle and trailer combinations.
Category C1 applies to medium commercial vehicles above Category B limits but within the C1 limits. Category C is commonly required for rigid heavy goods vehicles and certain special vehicles. Category C1E covers approved C1 vehicle and trailer combinations, and Category CE is commonly required for heavy trucks with trailers or semi trailers.
Category D1 applies to eligible minibuses within the applicable passenger and length limits. Category D is required for many bus and coach positions involving vehicles with more than eight passenger seats in addition to the driver. Categories D1E and DE apply to suitable passenger vehicles combined with trailers.
Official category details are published by the Greek Ministry of Migration and Asylum.
Code 95 applies, with initial certification and periodic training through approved Greek training schools and issue of a professional driver qualification certificate.
Working in Greece as an EU, EEA, Swiss or Third Country Driver
Greece is an EU member state inside Schengen. EU, EEA and Swiss nationals may work without a permit, registering with the competent authority for longer stays.
EU and EEA licences are recognised. Third-country licences may be exchanged where an agreement exists with the issuing state, and heavy categories are commonly excluded, leaving Greek testing as the route.
Drivers who stay in Greece for more than a short visit should check the applicable residence registration requirements and follow the address registration rules that apply locally.
Third-country drivers are admitted mainly through the annual invitation procedure, under which the government sets sector and regional quotas before employers may apply. Outside that route, options are limited, and approval depends on the quota published for the relevant period.
Registration on FastDriver.eu does not give permission to work or live in Greece. You can check your own starting position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu may provide general guidance where available. It does not make government decisions, sponsor visas or guarantee approval. Never begin work while visiting Greece without the required authorisation.
Using a Foreign Driving Licence and the Language You Need
EU and EEA licences are recognised. Third-country licences may be exchanged where an agreement exists with the issuing state, and heavy categories are commonly excluded, leaving Greek testing as the route.
A licence issued outside that group may be subject to different recognition, exchange and testing requirements. Required documents, translations, medical checks and practical test requirements depend on the issuing country, any agreement in place and your personal circumstances. Check the position with the licensing authority in Greece before you rely on it for professional work.
An international driving permit does not replace a valid national licence. FastDriver.eu may provide general guidance, but it cannot approve, convert, renew or validate a licence. Vacancies may also require Code 95 or the equivalent professional qualification, a valid digital tachograph driver card or ADR certification for dangerous goods.
Language requirements depend on the employer, the passengers, the cargo, the routes and the workplace. Greek may be important for local delivery, passenger transport, taxi work, customer communication and workplace safety, while some international transport employers accept English or another working language.
You must be able to understand the instructions, safety procedures, transport documents and emergency communication required for the position.
The employer will check your original licence, professional qualification, driver card, work authorisation and employment history before you begin work, so keep every document current and readable.
