WORK AND STUDY VISA INFORMATION. Work and study visas I for most countries can be acquired only with the help of a sponsoring organi zation in that country; non-EU nationals looking for work may have a hard time getting permission, and, if they do secure a permit, it may be valid for only 3-6 months. The organizations listed under Long-Term Work (see 69) may be able to find sponsors, while the Center for International Business and Travel (CIBT; see 12) can help expedite the visa process. Study-abroad programs or universities should have no problems sponsoring study visas; check before applying to an institution. Citizens of the EU are free to work in any EU member country, but they may need special permits. Contact the con sulate of the country in which you want to work for more info.
