Question about migrating to Europe

Hi

If I now obtain a working holiday visa for Europe, and work in a European country for any period of time within the validity period of the visa, does that mean I won’t be able to migrate to that particular country ever in my life time?

Because I came across a website telling me that european working visas for a country are only issued once in a lifetime. I would just like to know if that means there’s no way I’ll ever be able to migrate and live in that country in the future.

Eg;
I want to live in Italy in the future. If I get a working visa for Italy now, and work there for 12 months and leave, will I ever be able to go back to Italy and apply for citizenship and jobs?

Thanks

Hi Saki, I see you are Greek. Do you have Greek citizenship? If so you can go and work anywhere in the EU without having to get a visa, though you do need to get some paperwork done in the country where you choose to work (note, you have to have a job otherwise it is 3 months tourist visa). If you don't have Greek citizenship you may be able to get it in Australia as you are of Greek origin. Inga Reply to this

I think as long as you don't come and live in Greece permanently you don't need to do military service and you can still visit Greece for vacations. But you should check it out as the rules changes. Reply to this
