How to Get a Dutch Customer Service Job in Greece

If you speak Dutch and you've ever thought about living somewhere warm, sunny, and affordable, a customer service job in Greece might be the easiest move you'll ever make. Greece is one of Europe's biggest hubs for multilingual customer service — and Dutch is one of the most in-demand languages. In this guide we'll walk you through everything you need to know, in plain language.

1. What the job actually involves

As a Dutch-speaking customer service agent in Greece, you'll help customers — usually for a well-known brand — by phone, email, or chat. You'll work in Dutch, with internal training and systems in English. You don't need to speak Greek. Most roles are full-time, with paid training and a clear path to team-lead or quality-coach positions over time.

2. What you need to apply

• Fluent Dutch (native or near-native). Belgian Dutch speakers from Flanders are equally welcome.
• Conversational English — enough to follow training and use internal systems.
• A valid EU passport — this is mandatory, because you'll live and work in Greece.
• A customer-friendly attitude and willingness to relocate to Greece.

3. What it pays (and the hidden bonus)

Most Dutch customer service roles in Greece pay €1,300–€1,800 per month gross, plus a monthly performance bonus. Here's the part many people miss: by Greek law, most workers receive two extra salaries per year (the 13th and 14th month). So your real annual pay is closer to 14 months. Combined with Greece's low cost of living, your money goes much further than it would in the Netherlands.

Some of our most popular Dutch roles are with major travel brands — see our Booking.com jobs in Greece for Dutch speakers for a real example with salaries listed.

4. The relocation package

This is the part that surprises people: most Dutch-speaking roles in Greece come with a fully paid relocation package. Here's what's typically included:

5. The application process, step by step

1. Apply — pick a role on our Dutch speaker jobs in Greece page and submit your CV.
2. Quick chat — a Mercier recruiter calls you (in Dutch or English) to confirm your details.
3. Interview — a short video interview with the employer, usually within a week.
4. Offer — if it's a match, you get a job offer, often within 1–2 weeks of applying.
5. Relocate — we arrange your flights and hotel, and you fly out (usually 2–4 weeks later).

The whole thing, from first click to landing in Greece, typically takes 4–6 weeks.

6. Life in Greece

Greece offers 250+ days of sunshine a year, world-class food, a relaxed lifestyle, and a big international community. Rent in Athens is far cheaper than in Amsterdam or Utrecht, and your Dutch salary will buy you a comfortable life. Many Dutch speakers describe the move as the best decision they ever made.
