What are Visas and Work Permits?
Firstly, here is an explanation of what a visa, a work permit
and immigration actually is.
- A visa is an official authorization appended
to a passport, permitting entry into and travel within a particular
country or region.
- A work permit is a generic term for a legal
authorization, which allows a person to take employment. It
is most often used in reference to instances where a person
is given permission to work in a country where one does not
hold citizenship,
- Immigration is the act of immigrating; the passing
or coming into a country for the purpose of permanent residence.
It will depend on how long you want to go for, why you want
to go and certain other factors as to which of the visas you
must apply for.
