A work visa is an official document or endorsement on a passport that allows you  to work legally in a country other than your own. The specific terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements for work visas vary significantly between countries.

Permanent Work Visas – These may be granted to individuals in high-demand professions or those with skills that are needed in the country, often leading to permanent residency.

Temporary Work Visas – These are usually issued for specific job contracts, often for a set period, after which the visa holder must leave the country or apply for renewal.
