These requirements are set directly by the employer and are typically based on legal, budgetary, or compliance limitations. This article explains what this means and how it may affect your job search.

Why These Jobs Appear on the Platform

While Migrate Mate focuses on visa-sponsoring opportunities, some roles may appear that require existing work authorization. This can happen due to changes in employer requirements or incomplete job information at the time of posting.

Our team continuously reviews job listings to ensure they align with the platform’s standards.

What to Do If a Job Does Not Offer Visa Sponsorship
