    Can someone start while an employer checks their card?

    Recommended employer process: complete and record the eligibility check before allocating a first shift. Ask for private verification through the competent channel rather than posting card photographs in the forum.

    Does an AFM or AMKA prove work permission?

    These identify tax and social-insurance records. They should not be used as the employer’s immigration eligibility check. Keep the administrative and work-right evidence in separate private records.

    Does a Czech residence card equal EU citizenship?

    Separate nationality from residence. Ask which Greek employment basis applies to a non-EU cardholder; a residence card should never be labelled EU citizenship on a vacancy or forum profile.
