Securing a job abroad is a minefield of immigration dos and don’ts. Generally, countries are strict when granting other-than-tourist visas.
United States:
Your length of stay will be determined by the US Immigration and Naturalisation Service. On a tourist visa you are not allowed to work or study. You should not enter the US with the intention of changing your status after arrival.
United Kingdom:
You don’t need a tourist visa, and you may stay six months. Tourists are not allowed to seek employment. If you want to work, your work permit must be arranged by your employer before you arrive in the UK.
Australia:
You can stay for three months each time you enter the country on a free multiple-entry tourist visa that’s valid for 12 months. For $50, you’ll get a tourist visa that lets you stay up to six months, but if you abuse it, you’ll be “removed” and not allowed into the country for three years.
There’s a visa that gives you “temporary residence” but you have to be sponsored by your employer in Australia, who must prove you’re highly skilled. Student visas allow you to work 20 hours a week.
Japan:
You don’t need a tourist visa. If you want to work,your employer will need to apply for a certificate of eligibility and get approval from Japanese immigration. The embassy will then issue a visa.
France:
You can stay for three months on a tourist visa. If you want to go as a student, you’ll have to be registered at a university full-time, with proof that you have enough money and accommodation. This gives you a visa that will be valid for 2.5 months, after which you can apply for a student pass there. You can’t work on a student pass.
If you want to work, you can’t change your visa status there. You’ll have to go to your country first, and provide documents from your employer, who will get the French embassy to apply to authorities there.
