Work permit and work visa
incl. IT Visa
Employers must get confirmation from the labour migration authority before employing a foreign citizen. The authority checks whether local workers are available for the vacancy. A work visa is then issued based on the agency's authorisation. IT Park residents can use a 3-year IT Visa that allows work without a work permit.
