How to apply for your work permit!

You are responsible for applying for your work permit yourself. Your future employer must help you with this. To get a work permit, you must do the following:

• Find an employer who wants to hire you.
• Then you must submit an application to the Foreigners' Registration Office.

The Foreigners' Registration Office provides forms for the application. You need to fill these out. You have to submit the forms with your application to the Foreigners' Registration Office. The Foreigners' Registration Office will check your application and obtain approval from the employment agency if necessary. The Foreigners' Registration Office will inform you of the result of their checks. You will then either receive a work permit or a negative decision (rejection). How long it takes to process the application can vary greatly.

Important: you are not allowed to start work until you have received your work permit.
