Frequently Asked Questions?
Does holding a National Work Visa for one European country permit me to work anywhere in Europe?
No. A National Work Visa (Type D) allows you to live and work only within the specific country that issued the permit. However, it does grant you Schengen mobility privileges, meaning you can travel through other Schengen member states for leisure or business for up to 90 days within any 180-day block.
What is the core difference between an EU Blue Card and a National Work Visa?
The EU Blue Card is a standardized, high-skilled residence track requiring a recognized university degree and a high salary threshold, offering accelerated permanent residency across Europe. National Work Visas are governed strictly by individual country laws and are widely used to fill critical labor demands in skilled trades, logistics, and manufacturing.
