Bilateral work agreements are agreements made between different countries allowing employment for U.S. government employees and their families in foreign countries. As of 2010, the U.S. had 109 bilateral work agreements with other countries.
Purpose
Bilateral work agreements are used in the process of obtaining a work permit in a foreign country. They are used for U.S. government employees on assignment for their job. Their family members are also often included in these agreements.
Features
Bilateral work agreements are reciprocal. If a person from the U.S. obtains a work permit in another country, a person from that country can also obtain one in the U.S. Each time a work agreement is created, specific instructions are included outlining the process it takes for a person to obtain a work permit.
Details
Bilateral work agreements are different between all countries. They are created when two countries negotiate an agreement. When an agreement is reached, it specifically states the way the arrangement works. These agreements specify who is included in the agreement, what family members are included, age requirements and any other details required.
