Many Ghanaians are wishing to transfer overseas and looking for ways to do so in quest of better living circumstances, a brighter future, and greener pastures. In addition, we know of incredibly costly trip packages that travel agencies provide to encourage Ghanaians who are interested in relocating overseas to the UK, Canada, Ireland, USA, Australia, United Arab Emirates, and several other European nations. It has been proven that some Ghanaians are able to afford these offers to relocate for work overseas.

I would like to emphasize that the majority of travel agents in Ghana would not want to charge such exorbitant fees to help Ghanaians relocate overseas for employment or education; however, it is their overseas partners who do charge such exorbitant fees, and their fellow agents in Ghana only get a small percentage as commission to cover their overhead. Some travel packages cost as much as £15,000 for a couple, or occasionally the cost is divided between two people, typically a man and a woman, with one serving as the primary candidate for the job and the other as the dependent, who typically contributes more when the money is divided between the two.

Many more Ghanaians have the desire to go overseas but are either unprepared to spend the substantial sum required to arrange a trip through an agency or lack sufficient knowledge to put themselves in a situation where they may easily travel abroad. One such helpful avenue is the Visa Sponsorship position option, which entails staying in Ghana while you look for jobs overseas, eventually landing a position, and then moving abroad with your immediate family, if any. Regrettably, a lot of Ghanaians don't think it's feasible to acquire a job with visa sponsorship, where you don't have to pay an agency a significant sum of money and, when you eventually arrive, your company reimburses you for all of the expenses you paid during the relocation process. The good news is, Weslin International is here to inform you that it’s all possible.

Visa Sponsorship Job is when a business is ready to obtain a work visa for highly qualified persons who live abroad. In order to be eligible to sponsor a visa, employers must prove that they were unable to locate qualified individuals from inside their own countries to fill available positions. The most common visa for foreign workers with particular skills is the skilled worker visa, which goes by several names depending on the host country. There are other types of temporary visas available for seasonal workers in the hospitality and agricultural industries, but these need to be renewed on a regular basis. When a company sponsors a new recruit for a work visa, the company helps with the application, prepares the labor certification documentation, and acts as the petitioner for the visa. It is quite feasible for Ghanaians to obtain employment with visa sponsorship in any desired nation in Europe or North America.

Prior to beginning the process of applying for a job sponsored by a visa in any nation, you must look for the general requirements for that visa, such as evidence of English proficiency in the form of IELTS for credentials below a degree and ECCTIS for holders of degrees, master's degrees, PhDs, and other degrees. Before you begin looking for work in your chosen nation, you should also confirm whether you need to register with any regulatory bodies there. Before applying for positions in the desired country, professionals such as nurses must register with the Nurses and Midwifery Council of that nation. Before beginning their job hunt in that nation, other professionals, such as electricians, are required to register with the regulating organization that standardizes their qualifications. Weslin International has the necessary expertise to help you with these registrations. The following stage is to impress your employers when everything has been verified and completed. Make them adore you for who you are. They will set up an interview with you as soon as they are convinced of your abilities. Ascertain that you have a reliable internet connection, a well-equipped phone or computer with a nice camera, and that you have sufficiently prepared for the interview. Here are some strategies to make an impression on potential employers and convince them that you are the best person to work for a visa sponsorship job:

  • Customize your resume to the worldwide standard for the position you are looking for: The standard CV writing practices in Ghana are not suitable for applications to other countries. A lot of Ghanaians write their resumes on numerous pages, which is an outdated method of submitting a resume for a foreign job application that might sponsor your visa. Since most current CVs are seen online, you should aim to keep your resume to no more than one page and contain all relevant information, such as your experiences, education, and certifications, as well as references and vital links. If you contact Weslin International for assistance, we will assist you with this procedure.

  • Make the most out of your LinkedIn profile: If an employer is impressed with your resume, they will likely look into you further, which may involve looking through your LinkedIn profile. Reach out to us for assistance in enhancing your LinkedIn profile in order to secure your ideal job sponsorship visa and migrate overseas.

  • Create a Portfolio Website: A lot of Ghanaian professionals and graduates are unaware of the value of a portfolio website, despite the fact that it is one of the best tools for self-promotion and personal branding and a wonderful method to make an impression on potential employers abroad. For cost-effective assistance with all of these, get in touch with Weslin International.

  • You may also ask in your cover letter for visa sponsorship: In requesting a cover letter sponsorship for a visa, it's critical to be precise, succinct, and expert. This is a broad outline that you can adhere to:

    Start by giving a brief introduction of yourself and the job for which you are applying.

    Briefly describe your present visa status and the necessity of a sponsor in order to be able to work lawfully in the nation.

    Stress Value: Outline the education, training, and work history that make you an excellent fit for the role.

    Demonstrate your dedication to the organization and your excitement for the chance.

    Sponsorship Request: Clearly indicate that you are looking for sponsorship for your visa and give an explanation of why you think the firm is a suitable fit for you and vice versa.

    Thank you: End the letter by thanking the applicant for the chance to apply and stating your expectation for a favorable answer.

    Never forget to customize the letter for the particular position and business, and make sure it is clear and professional by proofreading it. That's the right moment to approach sponsors. You may explain why you are a fantastic fit and give your CV more depth and context in your cover letter. Once you receive a job offer, discuss your visa status. Let Weslin International assist you with your Visa Sponsorship Applications.

  • Your next move is to start applying for jobs on various job websites. Put in the work and apply for as many jobs as possible, possible a 100 jobs every week. At Weslin International, we have partners abroad in several countries who aid in job search in your country of choice.
