Work permit

This article is about the visa. For the work safety management system, see Permit-to-work.

A work permit or work visa is the permission to take a job within a foreign country. The foreign country where someone seeks to obtain a work permit for is also known as the "country of work", as opposed to the "country of origin" where someone holds citizenship or nationality.[1]
