You need:

• An application form (if you are not applying online). There are different forms for different types of work permits (see link on the right).
• Copies of the pages in your passport that show your personal data, period of validity and whether you have permission to live in a country other than your country of origin.
• The offer of employment, a union statement of opinion, and any other documents you may have received from your employer.
• A passport sized photo in color
