📌 1. Initial Steps & Getting Started
How do I start the process with Global Work Path Consulting?+

Simply contact us via WhatsApp (+43 680 54008439) or email info@globalworkpath.com. We will schedule a free initial assessment to understand your profile, target country, and goals. If you decide to proceed, we sign a service agreement and begin document collection.

What information do I need to provide for the first consultation?+

Please share your CV/resume, passport copy (if available), education certificates, work experience details, and your preferred destination country. This helps us assess your eligibility accurately.

How long does the entire work permit process take?+

Timelines vary by country. Seasonal visas (UK, Canada SAWP): 2–4 months. Skilled work visas (Italy, Poland, Czech Republic): 3–6 months. Permanent residency (Canada, Australia): 6–12 months. We provide realistic estimates during consultation.

Do I need a job offer before applying for a work permit?+

For most countries (Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, UK Skilled Worker, Canada LMIA), yes. For others like Australia 189/190, you can apply without a job offer. We guide you based on your chosen pathway.

🌏 2. Factors to Consider Before Working Abroad
What are the most important factors to consider before deciding to work abroad?+
  • Cost of living vs. salary – Research rent, food, transport, taxes.
  • Language requirements – Some countries require basic local language.
  • Accommodation – Employer-provided or self-arranged?
  • Healthcare & insurance – Are you covered?
  • Family separation – Can you bring dependents later?
  • Cultural adaptation – Work culture, climate, food.
  • Legal rights – Labour laws, contract terms, overtime pay.

We advise all clients thoroughly before commitment.

Can I bring my family with me on a work visa?+

It depends on the visa type. Some countries (Canada, Australia, UK Skilled Worker) allow family sponsorship after you establish residency. Seasonal work visas generally do not allow dependents. We explain family options per country.

What are the risks of working abroad through a consultancy?+

The main risks are fake agents, visa rejection, and job scams. Global Work Path is a UK registered company (SC887466) with transparent policies. We never guarantee approvals, we use verified employers, and we have a clear refund policy. Always avoid agents who ask for large upfront fees without a signed contract.

📋 3. Procedure – How Our Process Works
What is the step-by-step process after I sign up?+
  1. Eligibility assessment – We review your profile and suggest best options.
  2. Service agreement & payment plan – Clear contract with milestones.
  3. Document collection & verification – We guide you on required documents.
  4. Employer matching (if applicable) – We connect you with verified employers.

Do I need to travel to the embassy for an interview?+

Some countries require in-person embassy interviews (e.g., Italy, Poland). Others accept biometrics at a visa application centre. We provide interview preparation and checklists.

Can I apply for multiple countries at the same time?+

Yes, but we recommend focusing on one target country initially. Multiple applications can be expensive and logistically complex. We help you choose the most suitable based on your profile.

📄 4. Documents, Attestation & Legalisation
What documents are typically required for a work visa?+
  • Valid passport (at least 6–12 months validity)
  • Passport-size photographs (as per country specs)

  • CV/Resume in required format
  • Police clearance certificate (from home country)
  • Medical examination report (approved clinic)

What is document attestation and why is it needed?+

Attestation is the process of verifying your documents (degrees, marriage certificates, birth certificates) by authorized bodies. Most European countries require attested educational documents to prove authenticity. The process typically involves: Notary → HEC/Education Ministry → Foreign Affairs → Embassy of destination country. We guide you through each step.

How long does attestation take?+

In Pakistan, India, Bangladesh: 3–6 weeks. In Middle East: 2–4 weeks. We can recommend trusted attestation agents to speed up the process.

Yes, most countries require translations into the official language (e.g., Polish, Italian, Czech). Translations must be done by certified translators. We can arrange this service for you.

🛂 5. Visa Policies & Guidelines by Country

What happens if my employer terminates my contract after arrival?+

In many countries, you have a grace period to find a new employer (e.g., 30–90 days). We advise you to contact us immediately. We will help you understand your legal rights and explore alternative job opportunities.
