The same process must be followed with the individuals you are responsible for (if any), for document verification and biometric registration.

A Residence Permit can be canceled by the Liberia Immigration Services at any time for certain reasons, such as: Having been convicted of a serious crime believed to facilitate the commission of any serious crime in Liberia, including those convictions contrary to Liberian laws. Having been convicted of a crime under the laws of another country, and the nature of that offense, in the opinion of the Commissioner General, makes it against the public interest for them to continue to be in Liberia. If the reasons for granting the Residence Permit no longer exist.

A work visa is a permit that grants you the right to work and reside in a country other than your country of residence. To qualify for a work visa, you need to meet various conditions that vary depending on the country where you intend to work.

You are eligible for a work visa if you meet the following conditions: • You are over 18 years old (typically between 35-55). • You have a job contract in a foreign country. • You have at least three years of work experience in your field. Types of Work Visas There are two main types of work visas: Temporary work visa: This type of work visa is valid for only a few years; depending on the country, you may need to renew it or return home when it expires. Some countries may allow you to transition to a permanent work visa if you find a new job. Permanent work visa: Permanent work visas allow you to live permanently in a foreign country, and after living there for a certain period, you can even apply for citizenship. How to Get a Work Visa? To obtain a work visa, you need to follow the application steps listed below: • Find a job: Before applying for a work permit, you need to find a job in a foreign country. You must provide proof of a job contract when applying for a visa. • Schedule an appointment with the embassy or consulate: Locate a diplomatic office that issues work visas for the country you intend to go to. You need to schedule an appointment to attend the visa interview. • Prepare your documents: You need to prepare your documents by having them translated and authenticated as required. • Submit your application: In most cases, your employer will apply for the work permit on your behalf, but there may be situations where you have to apply on your own. • Attend the visa interview: When your appointment date arrives, you need to go to the embassy/consulate to complete your visa interview. Some visa offices may require you to make the visa payment on the same day as your interview; make sure to inquire at the visa office.

A work visa is typically processed within three to six months. However, the processing time varies depending on the country, the type of visa, and the embassy or consulate.

However, if you want to work abroad but do not yet have a job offer, one option is to obtain a job seeker visa offered by some countries (such as Germany). Another option is a freelance or digital nomad visa, as many countries offer special work permits for self-employed individuals.
