Independent Travel in Europe
Working in Europe
You've decided that you'd like to move to Europe either temporarily or permanently - now what? Unless you're independently wealthy, you will need to find work. Non- Europeans need to have a work permit to be able to legally work in Europe. The residence visa/permit may or may not carry work permission; for example, if you are studying in Europe for a year, you will be issued this type of visa/permit, and you may be allowed to work part-time while you are studying.
Although you still need to have the paperwork in place, it is apparently not as difficult as it used to be to find a job and work and live in Europe. Some European countries are trying to attract skilled foreign workers and therefore relaxing the rules regarding work permits.
Contracts may be for the full school year, but some may only be for the fall or spring semester. Some contracts may be for teaching ESL at summer camps or for teaching ESL in corporate environments.
