open-in-new
<p>A work permit or work visa is the permission to take a <a href="/facts/Job/7KFjXtkK">job</a> within a foreign country. The foreign country where someone seeks to obtain a work permit for is also known as the "country of work", as opposed to the "country of origin" where someone holds <a href="/facts/Citizenship/eB9UXLSP">citizenship</a> or <a href="/facts/Nationality/pK1x6rjn">nationality</a>. </p>
