Why Do Some Jobs Require Existing Work Authorization?

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

If you come across a job that requires existing work authorization and believe it should not be listed on the platform, you can report it directly from the job page. This allows our team to review the listing and take appropriate action if necessary.
