Welcome Office

In Mytilini, capital of the island our Welcome Office assists with bureaucratic steps into the Greek society (how to get a tax number, social insurance and unemployment card). Further we have an open consultation space and through networking with other actors we try to find solution for every individual where to find a lawyer, how to get into public schools, how to rent a flat, how to find a job etc. With our Welcome Office we wish to be a central point for refugees and locals to connect and support each other with dignity and respect. We provide:

• Low level – easy access support for refugees – daily open office (Mondays to Fridays)
• Support for integration (assist with getting a tax number, social insurance number, unemployment card etc.), copies of documents, filling in forms – all the bureaucratic paperwork besides the asylum case
• Assisting with finding an apartment
• Supporting with specific needs of the beneficiaries (e.g. school enrolment of children or finding a football club to play etc.)
• Encouraging setting up ideas of the community within the space e.g. starting a CV writing workshop – Greek language club
