Overview

What a work visa actually means.

A work visa gives you the legal right to live and work in another country for a set period. Most are tied to a specific employer (sponsored routes) or a points-based system that scores you on skills, salary, and qualifications. Get it right, and it’s the fastest route to building a life abroad - and in most countries, to permanent residency. Get it wrong, and a refusal can follow your record for years.
