work permit for PSW visa

[varunkv]

I am hearing contradictory info on the need for a work permit in the case of a PSW holder. Since the new rules have come into effect is it necessary for a PSW holder to have a work permit i.e. should the employer apply for a work permit before employing a PSW holder since he/she already has permission to work. I browsed through all the other threads, couldnt find any relevant info. Pls do help

Where did u get this information from as its a complete false information. If you hold a PSW visa then you are free to work for 2 years withiut having a sponsor and the company u are going to work for also does not need a licence. After PSW visa expired and u still wish to work for the same employer or different then the comopany would need a licence.

There is no such requirement for PSW. The only thing you require is your University award letter, and the letter from the International officer in your university apart from the bank statement (Most essential). Nothing else is required.

Lol i think u need to read the post in details as the post is not for PSW application but for the work a PSW holder can do.

Thanks a lot mate. The thing is my seniors at university told me abt the vicious circle of work permits i.e. companies recruit only students having valid work permit and it is not possible to get a work permit unless u have a sponsoring employer. Maybe those seniors are out of touch with the new system.
