Professional development in Europe: how does a Schengen visa help to find a job?

The countries of the European Union - Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden - will allow foreign citizens staying on their territory on a Schengen C visa to legally look for a job. This important innovation opens new perspectives for those who dream of a career in Europe!

Being in one of these countries with a valid Schengen visa, you will be able to:

• Participate in job interviews;
• Attend job fairs and employment events;
• Meet with potential employers and recruitment agencies;
• Research the labor market and make professional contacts.
• However, keep in mind that starting a paid job or internship during this period is strictly prohibited.

There are a few key steps to follow in order to have a successful job search. First of all, obtain a Schengen visa type C to one of the specified countries. Then prepare a resume and portfolio according to local standards. Upon arrival, actively participate in business events and network with recruiters to build professional connections. Once you receive a job offer, you will need to return home and apply for a long-term work visa.

It's important to note that other Schengen countries prohibit any labor activities using a Schengen visa. Violating visa regulations in these countries can result in denial of entry or other undesirable consequences. Be careful and follow the visa requirements to avoid problems.

These changes open new horizons and career opportunities in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. These countries are ready to welcome professionals from various fields, giving Schengen visa holders a unique chance to legally seek employment. This is a great opportunity to not only launch your career, but also to explore alternative employment options, expanding your horizons and making international connections. Don't miss the chance to take advantage of this opportunity and learn about relocation options that could change your life!
