How Do I Know if My Visa Limits My Right to Work?

Some countries issue visas that grant full work rights, limited work rights, or no work rights at all.
The terms of your visa will determine whether you are legally allowed to work, and if so, under what conditions.

To find out if your visa limits your right to work:

• Review your visa documentation carefully. Work permissions are often listed directly on the visa or in your approval notice.
• Check with the immigration authority or official government website of your host country for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
• Contact your local embassy or consulate if you need clarification on your work rights under your current visa.

Since work rights can vary widely by visa type and country, it’s important to verify your status before accepting employment abroad.
