Visa's, Education & Jobs
1 year ago
My husband and I have not narrowed down a country that we are set on moving to.
My biggest concern is getting a visa because neither one of us have a 4-year degree. We both have experience in public service (he is a firefighter, I recently left my job as a 911 call taker).
Is it possible to get a work visa without a degree? From what I have read, it can be difficult to find a job until you are in the country, but also difficult to get a visa without a job first. Have you navigated this?
Another option would be a student visa. Would we both have to have a student visa, or would I be able to study and bring him with to find work?
Finally, do you have any website recommendations to look for jobs within your country? I want to see what kind of skills are in high demand so I can make myself as marketable as possible.
