Check visa and work rights
A source-first checklist for visa, sponsorship and work rights during international fellowship training.
Clarify whether the role is employment
Salary, stipend and honorary status can lead to different immigration routes. Ask the institution which status and sponsor apply to the offered position.
Use immigration authority guidance
Programme staff can explain their process, but the relevant government authority is the source for current visa and work-right requirements.
Keep conditions visible
Record limits on work, dependants, duration, health cover and changes of sponsor. Do not treat a previous fellow’s route as proof that the same route remains available.
Apply the guide to real programmes
Compare source-backed programme profiles and keep every unresolved fact visible.
