Work and pay
The work permit follows the purpose of stay, not the job title.
For third-country nationals, the right to work is tied to the residence permit. Dependent employment, self-employment, seasonal work and an intra-corporate transfer each take a different route.
Pick the purpose. In dependent employment the application is made with the employer and needs a contract and insurance. Self-employment asks for a business plan and resources. Seasonal work has a separate call-in process and covers the season. An intra-corporate transfer is filed by the company.
All routes continue with an appointment, biometrics and a document check. Timing and renewal depend on the category.
The permit is tied to a specific job and employer; a change needs new approval. Ask the service before signing.
It depends on the category and the contract. Timing is not published here because it was not confirmed.
