Hi Maria,

A visa has a start date and an expiry date. It must have a purpose, it requires a set of documentation and must be approved.

You must already have a work contract in order to apply for a work permit. This information is always checked by the authorities. You must always start the visa application, still in your home country, through VFS Global.

The path you are referring here is illegal, and can get you into trouble.

Best Regards
