What is labor service abroad?

Labor service abroad, also known as overseas labor dispatch, refers to that individuals or enterprises send workers to work abroad by signing labor contracts with foreign employers. This kind of labor dispatch usually involves the cross-border movement of labor, and the work that workers do abroad may be the same or similar to that at home, or it may be completely different.

Labor service abroad usually includes the following steps:

1.** Recruitment * *: Foreign employers or intermediaries conduct recruitment in China to find suitable workers.

2.** Contract signing * *: The laborer signs a labor contract with a foreign employer or intermediary agency, specifying terms such as job responsibilities, remuneration, working hours and contract term.

3.** Visa processing * *: According to the laws of the host country, workers need to apply for corresponding work visas or temporary residence permits.

4.** Training * *: Workers may need training in language, culture and work skills.

5.** Going abroad * *: The laborer goes to a foreign workplace according to the contract.

6.** Work * *: The laborer starts to work abroad and perform the duties stipulated in the contract.

7.** Contract expires * *: After the contract expires, the laborer can choose to renew the contract, return to China or find other job opportunities.

Labor service abroad can provide more employment opportunities and higher income for workers, but it is also accompanied by certain risks, such as cultural differences, working environment, labor rights protection and other challenges. Therefore, before deciding to work abroad, workers should fully understand the relevant information and make full preparations.
