Looking to move abroad but without a letter of employment offer? Your plans don’t necessarily need to be canceled because of it. You can look for work without a sponsor or an offer letter while living in the nation for a specific amount of time with a job seeker visa, which functions as a temporary residency permit. In the majority of nations, if you find work and fulfill the requirements, you can be granted permanent residence.
