Due to the recent round of layoffs, thousands of Indian IT professionals all over the globe have lost their jobs. Such companies include Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. Additionally, they are currently having trouble finding new jobs. As a result of the pandemic and the recent wave of widespread worldwide layoffs, many nations are currently experiencing a labor shortage. Despite this, the idea of Job Seeker Visas is becoming increasingly popular. These are the nations that grant Indian visas for job seekers.
Countries Issuing Job Seeker Visas To Indians
Several countries are issuing Job Seeker Visas to Indians. The list includes various European countries along with the United Arab Emirates.
