Is the work visa the same as the labor visa?

1, different functions

A work visa is an endorsement (stamp) on a person's passport or travel document, or a label with a clear explanation, indicating the reasons for the holder's entry, the allowed time of stay, or allowing him to travel to other countries through his territory. A labor visa is a work permit, the full name of which is "foreigner's work certificate", which is the certificate given by the Ministry of Labor to the Immigration Bureau.

2. Different requirements

Work visa has academic qualifications and language requirements, freedom of employment, freedom of travel, and generous salary. Although the labor visa has no academic qualifications, it has no freedom of employment. Must work in a fixed factory for a certain period of time (about 2-3 years) and then return to China, with low income and single job.

3. No power supply is needed

Work visas can be renewed continuously, accompanied by spouses and children, and have the right to apply for naturalization or permanent residence. The labor visa must be a group visa, and you can't travel freely. Spouses and children cannot be accompanied. It is also called a study visa.

Extended data:

The validity period of a visa refers to the period from the date of issuance of the visa to the date when the holder is allowed to enter the country. After this period, the visa will be invalid. Entry visas issued by general countries are valid for 3 months, while those issued by some countries are valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short.

The number of valid visas is generally divided into one valid visa, two valid visas and multiple valid visas. The number of times a visa is valid means that once it is used within the validity period, it will be invalid. Two valid visas, that is, you can use them twice within the validity period of the visa. Multiple valid visas, that is, within the validity period of the visa, the holder can enter and leave its territory multiple times.

For example, some tourist visas for Australia and India allow multiple entry and exit within three or six months. In some countries, work visas are also applicable to multiple entry. Of course, what kind of visa to issue, how long it is valid and how many times it is valid are decided by the visa authority according to the specific situation of the entry applicant.
