Unauthorized Employment

Unauthorized employment refers to working without the legal right or permission to do so, often occurring when an individual holds a visa or immigration status that does not permit them to take a job. This can include non-citizens who are in a country on a temporary visa or without any valid visa at all. Engaging in unauthorized employment can lead to serious consequences, including fines, deportation, and future ineligibility for work permits or visas. Employers who hire unauthorized workers may also face legal penalties, including fines and restrictions on their business operations.
