It depends on the country’s visa rules and your situation. Many countries allow foreign nationals to work before pursuing higher education, but you typically need a job offer and an employer willing to sponsor your work visa. The process can be competitive and requirements - such as financial proof and work rights - are subject to change.

Recent visa policy updates in some countries have made work and study options more restrictive. For personalized guidance based on your target country, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
