If you’re thinking about moving to another country for work, you should look beyond the usual suspects like the United States and Canada. These countries are frequently inundated with job applications, making obtaining a work visa difficult.
On the other hand, countries such as Germany and Austria offer a job seeker visa, which allows individuals to live in the country even if they do not have an offer letter. This can make the process of finding work and obtaining a work visa much easier.
1.Germany
Germany offers a job seeker visa that allows individuals to reside in the country for up to six months while looking for employment. If a job is secured within the six-month period, the individual can apply for a German work visa.
2.Portugal
Portugal
Portugal introduced its job seeker visa in June 2022, providing individuals with the opportunity to reside in the country and seek employment for up to 120 days, which is equivalent to four months.
3.United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) provides a job seeker visa to individuals who want to explore job opportunities in the country. The visa’s validity ranges from 60 to 120 days, i.e., two to four months, allowing holders to search for new job opportunities without a sponsor from UAE, but only for one trip
4.Sweden
Sweden is one of the key destinations for skilled professionals looking to live and work abroad. With the introduction of the Sweden Job Seeker Visa, it has become easier for highly qualified persons to seek work or start a business in Sweden.
5.Austria
Austria offers a six-month job seeker visa to individuals it recognises as “very highly qualified workers”. To be eligible for this visa, an individual must achieve a minimum of 70 points based on specific criteria, such as qualification, work experience, language skills, age, and study experience in Austria.

A survey conducted by Skyscanner, a global travel search portal, of more than 700 international cabin crew members, from 85 countries, shows that the cabin crew (mostly air hostesses, we guess) are almost as exasperated with some of passengers’ annoying habits as some of us who just can’t seem to catch their attention to get a cup of coffee at 30,000 feet.
.
But even if pressing the flight attendant button hasn’t really had the desired effect, do not, for your own sake, call a flight attendant by snapping your fingers. For, according to the survey, the biggest gripe for a quarter of cabin crew (26 per cent) is passengers who click their fingers at them to get their attention.
.
And for god’s sake, whatever you do, do not talk while the attendant is giving a safety demonstration before the flight takes off – that’s another of their pet peeves, with one in ten attendants citing that as their most annoying gripe, suggesting that many frequent flyers do not pay attention in spite of increasing requests by cabin staff to do so.

More than 700 Indian students in Canada face deportation after the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA) discovered that their ‘admission offer letters’ to educational institutions were fakes.

These students applied for study visas through an Education Migration Services company based in Jalandhar.

The company had charged each student more than Rs 16 lakh for all expenses, including admission fees to Humber College, a prestigious Canadian institution, but excluding airfare and security deposits.

The fraud was discovered when these students applied for permanent residency in Canada and their admission offer letters were examined. CBSA examined the documents used to issue visas to students and discovered that the admission offer letters were fake.

Do you have a trip to Europe in mind? If so, you might want to think twice about visiting the three Schengen nations with the highest rate of visa denials
According to the most recent visa application statistics released in 2021, France, Germany, and Spain rejected the greatest number of short-term visa applications in 2021.
France leads the list of visa rejections, rejecting 128,672 of the 652,331 visa applications received by its embassies in 2021. This represents slightly more than 21% of all applications. Spain is close behind, with 69,863 visa applications turned down. Germany received 346,284 applications, of which 53,987 were rejected.
While these figures are useful, it is also important to consider the countries that rejected the greatest proportion of applications received.

Sweden received only 22,260 applications, but only 30% were accepted. Norway, France, Denmark, and Belgium also rejected a higher proportion of applications than any other Schengen country.
Final Words
While France, Germany, and Spain may have a higher rate of visa rejection than other Schengen countries, it’s important to remember that visa applications are affected by a variety of factors.
