It is very difficult to get a job in the EU if you do not have a residence permit or citizenship of any country in Europe. Work permits for foreigners are issued by employers. And only in cases when it takes a long time to find a local candidate for a vacancy. Everyone is obliged to comply with the legislation of the European Union: to hire foreigners if there are no suitable candidates left on the European territory.

And in many states there are special restrictions. For example, in the Netherlands, a foreigner who had previously defended his doctorate from the University of Amsterdam was refused to take on the vacancy of a law teacher! The refusal was motivated by national reasons, despite the fact that the applicant was the most suitable. In most cases, it is unrealistic to obtain a work permit in Switzerland, Greece, Belgium, England (which left the European Union).

Here are tips on how to get a work permit in Europe. It is advisable to have an appropriate education, because you cannot work as an electrician if you are a lawyer and vice versa.

There is also illegal employment in the European Union, but we do not recommend doing this. Working illegally without a work permit, you will not receive a large salary, as well as no guarantees. There may also be legal punishment.
