Foreign nationals cannot apply for a job seeker visa without a degree or academic qualification. Every job seeker visa requires proof of educational qualification through degrees that will allow them to be qualified for the work they seek and apply for.
A job seeker visa allows an applicant to enter the country and look for employment for a specific period, though the validity of the visa differs for each country. Once the applicant finds employment in the country, they can convert the visa to a work permit. Governments issue these visas with high demand for skilled labor and wish to attract qualified professionals to fill job vacancies.
