Work & Job Seeker Visas
Empowering Global Professionals to Work, Thrive, and Contribute Abroad
🧭 What Is a Work or Job Seeker Visa?
A Work Visa allows a foreign national to legally work in another country — usually sponsored by an employer, or granted based on a job offer, profession in demand, or high-level skill set.
A Job Seeker Visa is a temporary visa that gives individuals the opportunity to enter a country without a job offer, search for employment, and apply for a work permit or residency once employment is secured.
These visas open doors to long-term professional opportunities, including permanent residency and citizenship pathways.
