Can't you travel abroad without a job? Must a tourist visa have proof of employment?

You can travel abroad without a job, but you must meet the conditions for non-staff to travel abroad. Details are as follows.

1, to apply for visas from developed countries in Europe, America and Australia, the application materials must pass the work certificate and expense statement. If you apply for a visa from Africa or Southeast Asian countries, you can easily get a visa without providing proof of employment if the general travel agency can guarantee it. (The following focuses on the requirements of developed countries. )

2. In principle, if you apply for a business visa, there is no doubt that you must provide a work certificate, without which it is impossible. To apply for a tourist visa, a visitor visa or a work visa, you don't necessarily need a work certificate.

For those who apply for a visa to visit relatives, it doesn't mean that they can't pass the visa approval without proof of employment. But the probability of providing proof of work is definitely higher than that of not providing it.

4. Generally speaking, there are several situations where there is no work certificate:

(1) Student:

According to the requirements of the embassy: students do not need to provide proof of employment when applying for travel, visiting relatives and attending international conferences, but only need to provide proof of study (that is, student ID card) issued by the school; Generally speaking, the student ID card cannot be used as proof of attendance, and the school needs to print and stamp on the official stationery.

(2) People who have not found a job or just left their jobs:

You can provide a statement letter explaining your current situation; If it's convenient, please ask a friend to help you open an employment certificate! Really not, you can apply without proof of employment. Of course, the probability of passing the visa in this case is not guaranteed.

(3) housewives:

A statement letter can be provided to explain the current life of housewives and the work of husbands; Of course, you can apply if you don't provide it.

(4) retirees:

Generally, you don't need to provide employment certificate when you apply for a visa, but you can provide retirement certificate or resignation certificate.
