Work Visa
What is a Work Visa?
It is generally a work permit that allows an applicant to enter a foreign country and work there for a specified period of time. Without having a work visa, you cannot work in any foreign country. It is a known fact that the procedures and criteria for issuing Work-Permit Visa vary from one country to another. Different countries have a different basis to issue work permit visa to individuals. Usually, work visas are issued for a temporary basis, for a particular time period. But if an individual’s employer wants an applicant to stay more, then the visa holder has to get their visa renewed. The duration of the work visa solely depends upon the amount of work you have and also the labour market conditions.
Usually, it is the company or employer for whom you will be working abroad that applies for a work permit visa on your behalf. Generally, work visas require an employer or a company to contact the immigration authority of a particular country and then get approval from them regarding the applicant’s work visa.
