Anyone who meets the criteria and requirements set by European countries can work in Europe. Most European countries have their own programs to attract foreign professionals and address the shortage of jobs in different regions of the country.
The Schengen work visa does not exist. You can obtain a Schengen visa for other purposes, such as tourism, visiting family and friends, business or medical purposes, etc. However, you cannot obtain a Schengen visa to work in Europe. You cannot work if you have a Schengen visa for other purposes.
However, you can work in the Schengen area if you have a national visa (D) for work purposes issued by one of the 26 European countries that are part of the Schengen area.
Each of the Schengen member countries has its own visa policy, which varies from country to country. The work visa programs in the European countries were established to meet the labor needs of the respective countries and to address a shortage of jobs.
Therefore, the criteria and requirements for work visas, as well as the application process, depend heavily on the labor needs of each country.
Citizens of the U.S., Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland, as well as EU citizens, do not need to apply for a work visa to Europe. However, they must apply for their residence and work permits upon arrival in the country where they will be working.
Citizens of other countries must apply for and obtain a work visa before entering the Schengen area for work purposes.
The following are the standard conditions for a European work visa:
Application form: Completely filled out and printed twice. Do not forget to sign both copies at the end!
