Common questions

How long does a work visa take? +

It depends on the visa and the country, and processing times change. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we know your situation.

Do I need a job offer before applying? +

For most work visas, yes. Working holiday visas are the exception, and don't need one.

Can my family come with me? +

Sometimes. It depends on your income and the visa, since family work rights often come with their own thresholds. We'll check this for your specific situation.

Can I switch from a work visa to residence later? +

Often, yes. Several work visas lead toward a residence pathway over time and we can map that out with you from the start.
