Work Visa

For remunerated work activities.

This is the permission given by the local Labor Ministry to perform a job within that specific country.

Either the inviting company or an authorized lawyer commonly submit the application to local authorities. The local authorities have to grant a pre-authorization: this will allow the applicant to visit the embassy of the destination country in his application country, in order to apply for the dedicated visa.

From the time the visa is issued, the applicant will be able to enter the country and take any other step required for taking up the work activity.
