Sharing Economy / Gig Economy Do you know much about work visas? If you want to work abroad, you need to learn about this process. Work visas or work permits are issued by a foreign country and they allow a person to work in that country. It is a legal document that is one of the most important things you need to work abroad.
Whether you have a job offer in another country, are planning ahead for travels abroad, or your employer is relocating you to a foreign land, a properly authorized work visa is a must. Here are a few things to consider:
Choose A Country – The first step is to determine where you want to work. The world is a big place and there are lots of different options. Some popular work abroad job options are ESL, Peace Corp, or Volunteering. When deciding where you want to go, be sure to assess pay.

Types Of Work Visas – Next, determine what type of visa you need. Typically there are a few options. The easiest route is for an employer to sponsor you in to the country. You’ll need to contact the employer to see if this is an option. The are also working holiday visas that are short term visas for people who qualify. They are only offered to certain, qualifying citizens of specific countries. Sometimes it is possible to get a work visa based on your professional experience. You have to research what is required on the consulate or embassy website.
It’s All About The Paperwork – The paperwork process may be the hardest and most tedious part of the visa process. A passport is an absolute must. You have to fill in every form, have the correct size photos, and apply to the correct location. Sometimes there is a visa fee and there may be specific deadlines. It’s important to realize that this takes time – anywhere from a few weeks to six months. Plan ahead.
