Non-EU migrant workers on Greek farms will have their permits extended to the end of the year, Migration and Asylum Minister Notis Mitarachi said in Parliament on Monday, ANA reports.
Responding to a question by ruling New Democracy Deputy Georgios Vlachos on the shortage of farm workers during the current cultivation period, Mitarachi said a clause for the extension to December 31 will be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.
This will relate to those third-country migrants who arrive in Greece by land and will tie into the new migration code which will go into effect on January 1, 2024, that sets out regulations for attracting non-permanent field workers from third countries, the minister said.
