Single Permit

The combined work and residence permit. Submitted by your employer, confirmed by you.

Mandatory for first-time applicants since 1 March 2026. Two modules, assessments, and a live interview.

Additional sector-specific requirements on top of the pre-departure course for tourism and hospitality workers.
