What is a Worker Visa?

A worker visa is issued to individuals who are traveling to a foreign country for employment purposes. This type of visa is typically granted to individuals who have secured a job offer in the host country or are highly skilled workers in specific industries. The visa allows the holder to work for a designated employer for a specified period. The eligibility criteria usually include a valid job offer, proof of qualifications, and sometimes a labor market test to ensure no local workers can fill the position. Worker visas may also provide opportunities for permanent residency depending on the country.
