Work & Study
Work & Study is not a single international program or visa category. Every country also organizes the student’s own legislation that could not work and work. This page displays these differences based on official resources.
Work & What is the study, what is not
“Work & Study is not an international program name. A single visa category has no common framework between a single application system or countries. The term is used to tell the situations where the study is planned with training. In fact, each country has its own rules and these rules are significantly different from each other.
The student can work in a country depends on all of the following elements: visa category, program type (akademic, language), program duration, work permit is also received and the weekly or annual limit. The result changes when one of these elements changes even.
This page for whom

Right to work according to countries
The following information is confirmed by the official institutions of the relevant countries.
| Denmark | 90 hours per month · June, July, August full-timeCurrent · nyidanmark.dk (SIRI) |
|---|---|
| Italy | 20 hours a week · 1,040 hours per yearongoing legislation · Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Education Information page in Italy |
| Malta | Up to 20 hours per weekYou need separate work permits · current · Identità – Central Visa Unit, student employment |
This in Malta is not an automatic right: After the first three months of general students, full-time high school students recognized by MQRIC from the first year also apply to work permit. The sector conditions set by Jobsplus are applied and applications are evaluated more positive in the work related to the educational area of the student.

Four factors determining the right to work
- Visa and session category. There is usually no right to work in programs that come with a short visa.
- Program type. Language school student with academic program student does not have the same rights.
- Separate work permit. In some countries, student status is not enough; also a work permit is applied.
- Time limit. Weekly, monthly or yearly defined. Denmark monthly, Italy week and annual limit applies.
Budget reality
It is not realistic to plan to meet all of the education and life expenses with the work income. Time limits should be evaluated together with the time of finding work and the cost of life. Home The required financial qualification at the visa stage does not take into account future work revenue: money application must be displayed instantly.
The right fiction is: the work income budget Close planned as a pen, the budget foundation not.
After graduation
Some countries have a separate permission to look for work after graduation. This is a different category of study in studenthood.

Free Preliminary AssessmentFrequently Asked Questions
Work & Study is a visa type manager?
No. "Work & Study is a title used in marketing language; it is not a single program or visa category with international validity. Every country also organizes the student’s own immigration legislation. Therefore "Work & I want to study" the sentence does not create an application plan alone.
Can I work with students in every country?
No. The right to work varies according to the country, visa category, program type and program duration. The right to work in certain categories of students in some countries is never recognized. It can also be applied to conditions such as time limit, separate work permit or waiting time in places where it is known.
Can I meet my training costs by working?
It should not be planned with assumption. When the clock limits are evaluated together with the time of finding work and the cost of life, the working income does not meet all of the education and life expenses in most countries. In addition, the desired financial qualification at the visa stage does not take into account the future work income: the money should be shown immediately.
