  Step 1:  Contact Consulate

Open a Report
If you will be taking an extended vacation and require a work permit, or visa, the best place to begin finding information is the consulate office of the country that you will be traveling to. To find the consulate's website, conduct a search for "consulate + *the country you will be traveling to*" in your search engine.
  Step 2:  Research Online

Open a Report
A search on "work + permits + *the destination country*" will likely return a variety of websites with helpful information and tips on gaining temporary residence in this country. While browsing these sites, look for information on immigration requirements and what to expect from the application process.
  Step 3:  Determine Requirements

Open a Report
Before you begin the application process, contact the consulate to ensure that you can meet all of the requirements that are set forth by their immigration laws. Things you will need to find out include: how long you have to find employment, whether you require a set amount of funds before establishing residency and how long the application process takes before you will be granted residency status.
  Step 4:  Begin Application Process

Open a Report
When you have all of this information, you can begin the application process. Contact the consulate to request an application and to make necessary arrangements.
