VISAS & PERMITS

Rules on residence permit, (exemption from) work permit, approval of the traineeships by the local authority, visas, are different from country to country (sometimes from region to region).

Whenever possible, the Centre will centralize the pre-inquiries, and lead the company step by step to fulfill the procedures. 

In some other cases, the Company is expected to hire a consultant/law firm, at its expenses, to clarify and fulfill the necessary steps.

Please feel free to contact us for more information.

 

Important notice

'Vulcanus in Europe' is, in principle, open to all EU27 Member States.

However, visa and work permit rules depend on national legislation and may evolve.

The EU-Japan Centre will reconfirm the compatibility of Vulcanus in Europe in your country, through liaising with your national authority in September/October.

Based on our past experience, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that potential difficulties may only be notified to the EU-Japan Centre by then (October).

One of the selection criteria will be the compatibility of Vulcanus with the rules in force at the time of the selection.
