Compared to other countries, the process of applying for a work permit is relatively not complicated, but ultimately receiving a job offer as a foreigner is not as easy as we might think. However, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, if we do not give up, opportunities will surely come.

According to the Migration Agency, the 17 most in-demand occupations are:

IT/Tech:

  • IT operations technicians
