Working abroad opens doors to better income, exposure, and lifestyle — but the process can be confusing. Clear up the most common doubts about legal overseas work permits.

1. What is a work permit?
   A work permit is an official document that allows you to work legally in a foreign country for a specific job and period.
2. How long does a work permit last?
   Duration varies by country — typically 6 months to 2 years, with the option to renew or extend depending on your employment contract.
3. Which countries currently offer legal work permits?
   At present, we assist with verified work permits for the UK, Canada, Russia, Croatia, Japan, Korea, and Gulf countries — each with its own eligibility rules and job types.
4. What documents are required for a work permit?
   Usually a valid passport, education/work certificates, medical reports, police clearance, and a genuine job offer letter are required.
5. Can I convert a tourist visa into a work visa abroad?
   No — this is illegal in most countries and can lead to deportation. Always apply for the correct visa from your home country.
6. How can I avoid fake job or work permit scams?
   Only deal with registered agencies like ETrivago Overseas. Avoid offers that promise instant jobs, no documentation, or "guaranteed visas".
7. Do I need to know the language of the destination country?
   Basic language skills help, especially for roles in customer service or hospitality, but many employers in Gulf and Europe accept English communication.
