Build a Strong Professional Network
2. Networking is essential when it comes to immigration. Establish connections with professionals in your field within your target country to gain valuable insights into the local market and create a more tailored business plan.
Enhance Your Language Proficiency
3. Language proficiency is a crucial factor in your application. Improve your language skills in the official language(s) of your target country by enrolling in language courses or taking standardized tests to demonstrate your proficiency
Gain Relevant Local Experience
4. Although not mandatory, having prior experience working or studying in your target country can be advantageous. This experience demonstrates your adaptability and familiarity with the local work environment, making you a more appealing candidate for the self-employed visa.
Obtain Strong Letters of Reference
5. Letters of reference from past employers, clients, or industry professionals can significantly strengthen your application. Request letters that emphasize your skills, expertise, and accomplishments, and highlight the value you can bring to the local economy and society
