How to obtain a Schengen work permit in Europe?

A Schengen visa can be obtained for a variety of reasons, including tourism, visiting family and friends, business, and medical treatment. However, you will not be able to work in Europe if you have a Schengen visa. You are also not allowed to work while on a Schengen visa for another reason.

You can still work in the Schengen Area if you have a National (D) Visa for employment reasons issued by one of the Schengen Zone’s 26 European countries.

Europe Employment Visa

Each of the Schengen member countries has its visa policies, which vary from country to country. Employment visa schemes have been formed in European countries to meet the labor demands of their countries and to address job shortages.

As a result, employment visa criteria and conditions, as well as the application procedure, are heavily influenced by each country’s labor demands.
