Work visas for Europe are national (D) visas issued by each country, such as Germany, Italy or Portugal. The exact documents depend on the country and the job.
This checklist is for Pakistani passport holders applying from Pakistan. If you live in another country, the process and documents can be different.
How Schengen work visas work
- Work visas for Europe are national (type D) visas. Each country, such as Germany, Italy, Portugal or Spain, has its own rules
- In most cases you first need a job offer and a work permit or approval from that country’s authorities
- A passport valid for your planned stay, with blank pages
- The national visa application form of that country
- Health insurance and proof of accommodation, where required
Documents usually asked
- Employment contract or job offer
- Degrees and experience letters, often with recognition in that country
- A CV in the format the embassy asks for
- Proof of funds until your first salary, if required
Good to know
- A Schengen visit visa does not allow you to work.
- We do not arrange jobs. We prepare your file once you have a genuine job offer and the approval needed by that country.
- Because rules differ, we confirm the exact checklist with the embassy of your destination country before you apply.
