How does one temporarily work for another country?

Question

I've been doing a lot of research with google and found out that there is a lot of american's temporarily working in other countries for a few months and making quite the paycheck while their at it.

So I was wondering what would someone have to do to experience such an endeavor when they are just an average person with average skills? I've always Wanted to travel and experience life while making money at the same time.

For those who may thinking I'm dreaming, yes this is one of my dreams but is also a life goal and I know realistically that it will never happen but it's always fun learning something new!

Cheers!

Answer 2

Many countries will issue visas for people to work (or study) for a specified period of time and then go home.  The regulations are complex, very specific about the type of position that qualifies for a visa, and vary from country to country.  Often, the visa holder has permission to work at one job only, and must reapply if they want to change jobs.  

As you might expect, visas are issued to people who do work which is in demand in their country.  So, if you have skills and experience in a high-demand area, you may well get an opportunity to work abroad.

In addition, some countries will issue permits for young adults who want to live and work there for a year or so.  I think that Britain and Australia allow this, but I may be wrong.

Check with the immigration departments of the countries that interest you.
