Employers or workers apply via the e-visa portal; processing about 7 working days; stay/validity is tied to the employment term and renewable. Issuance is administered by the MFA through the end of 2026. Distinct from the Special Work SW1/SW2 visa (short-term technicians, journalists, charity staff). Former consular W1/W2 fee was approximately USD 60-90.
