About Work & Residence
Work & Residence is an independent educational publication that organises work-permit and residence information by country, practical question and current official source.
Official information can be difficult to navigate
A worker or employer may encounter a submission portal, regional work authority, federal residence authority, municipality and diplomatic post during the same process. The website helps explain which source is relevant to each stage.
Work & Residence is not operated by, endorsed by or affiliated with a government, embassy, consulate, municipality or permit authority.
