According to SchengenVisaInfo, Greece has seen the entry of 154,102 illegal immigrants up to now in 2022, raising concerns over migration control and labor market impacts.

Recent data from SchengenVisaInfo reports that since the beginning of 2022, a total of 154,102 illegal immigrants have entered Greece. This significant figure reflects ongoing migration challenges faced by the country, which acts as a key entry point into the European Union. The influx includes migrants from various countries, including Nepal, among others. Official Greek authorities have been working to manage this migration through border controls and immigration policies, aiming to balance humanitarian responsibilities with security and labor market considerations. While official announcements emphasize efforts to control irregular migration, some reports highlight the complex socio-economic effects and the reliance on migrant labor in sectors such as agriculture and construction. The situation remains dynamic, with continuous monitoring by both Greek and international institutions to address irregular migration and support legitimate overseas workers in Greece.
