Before you apply

  • Work permission comes first. A job listing is not a work permit. Citizens of the United States generally need permission to work in a European country, and the rules and the process are different in each one.
  • Look for what the listing says. 34 of the listings below say visa sponsorship is offered and 109 mention relocation support. Each shows the sentence from the listing. A listing that says nothing about it may still be open to you, but you will have to ask.
  • Ask in writing. Before you accept an offer, ask the employer whether they sponsor a work permit for the role, who pays for it and how long it takes.
  • English in the listing is not English at work. A listing written in English can still require the local language. Read the requirements on the employer page.
  • Use official sources for the rules. We do not publish visa rules or fees.

Frequently asked questions

Can Americans work in Europe?

Citizens of the United States generally need permission to work in a European country, such as a work permit or visa, and the rules differ by country and by job. Some employers sponsor permits for roles they cannot fill locally. Check the official immigration site of the country and ask the employer.

Which European countries have the most English-language jobs here?

United Kingdom (640), Germany (263), Ireland (203), Romania (145), Portugal (130). Coverage reflects the job sources we read, not the whole market.

Does a job listed in English mean I do not need the local language?

Not necessarily. Many employers write in English and still ask for the local language. We mark listings that say in a clear sentence that English is the working language.

Where do these listings come from?

They are published by the employers on their own hiring systems. Each listing credits its source and sends you to the employer to read the full description and apply.
