Frequently asked questions
Do I need to find a job first?
In most cases a valid job offer or contract is a precondition for the work visa; we plan your process accordingly.
Can I bring my family?
Family reunification is possible in many countries; separate applications are managed for your spouse and children.
What is the difference between a work permit and a visa?
A work permit grants the right to employment, while a Type D visa grants entry to the country; the two are usually handled together.
How long does it take?
The timeline varies by country and profession; we clarify a realistic schedule through an initial assessment of your case.
