The dream of working abroad appeals to many Sri Lankans to enjoy better salaries, career orientations and even a better life with exposure to new cultures. But let’s face it, work visa procedures can be complex, time-consuming and exhausting. That’s where we step in as experienced work visa consultants in Sri Lanka to guide you throughout this entire procedure. At IMM Consult, we understand the ins and outs of global immigration systems. With our unique personalised approach, we help make your global aspirations more achievable, whether you are planning for a permanent move or just a temporary role overseas.
1. Employer-Sponsored Work Visas
This is one of the direct ways to work abroad where all you need is a job offer from an international employer. These visas options are common in Australia and rely mostly on the international labour force. The following facts will give a good insight into this particular visa category.
- The employer must prove the inability to fill the role locally to gain this visa.
- These visas can sometimes open doors to permanent residency.
- High demand in industries includes such as healthcare, tech, engineering and skilled trades.
At IMM Consult, we connect you with incredible employers and support you in preparing professional and compelling applications that meet embassy standards.
2. Skilled Worker Visas
This visa might be the right choice if you have recognised qualifications and relevant experience. These visas typically follow a point-based system where qualifications like education, job experience and factors like age come into play.
- The UK’s Skilled Worker Visa and Australia’s Skilled Independent Visa are among the most in demand.
- Applicants are often required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
- Eligibility in this category often depends on skilled occupation lists.
We provide in-depth skill assessments and guide our clients from eligibility checks to document submissions. We also make sure your application delivers your story cohesively and effectively.
3. Temporary or Seasonal Work Visas
If you are looking for short-term work experience overseas, Temporary or Seasonal Work Visas can be ideal. Many countries open these programmes to address shortfalls in specific sectors.
- These visas often cover jobs in agriculture, hospitality, or tourism.
- Typically valid for 6–12 months, with possible extensions.
- Great for gaining international exposure without a long-term commitment.
Canada is a country that opens programmes largely for temporary foreign workers.
At IMM Consult we help you explore and apply for suitable temporary jobs abroad while managing all your paperwork to ensure your visa process goes smoothly.
4. Intra-Company Transfers
If you are working at a multifunctional company with offices overseas, you might be eligible for an intra-company transfer, this is a great way to gain global experience while staying with your current employer.
- Typically offered to managers or specialist staff.
- Quicker visa processing in many cases.
- This can lead to long-term residence opportunities.
In this case, our service goes beyond offering legal and strategic guidance to both companies and employees, ensuring all transfer-related documentation meets immigration requirements.
5. Working Holiday Visas [for youth]
For young adults aged between 18 and 30 (or 35, depending on the country), working holiday visas offer a unique blend of travel and temporary work.
- Encourages cultural exchange and financial independence.
- Flexibility in job type and working hours.
- Ideal for gaining experience while exploring a new country.
