Work permit
A work permit is government authorization that allows a foreign worker to perform work in a specific country, often tied to an employer, occupation, salary or permit category.
Why it matters
Most jobs-abroad and visa-sponsorship searches eventually depend on whether the destination allows the applicant to work legally.
Caveats
- Rules differ by destination and occupation.
- A job offer does not automatically mean a permit will be approved.
- Some countries separate employer approval, worker visa and residence steps.
