Other legal pathway
Employment
Skilled refugees may find legal work-based routes to new countries.
Work routes
- Skilled migration visas adapted for refugees.
- Employer-sponsored positions arranged through partner organisations.
- Talent-matching platforms that connect refugees with employers.
Tips
- Prepare a CV and keep qualification records.
- Use only verified programmes, and never pay a recruiter for a visa.
- Ask whether you can keep refugee protection while you work abroad.
Pathways are in addition to resettlement, not a replacement. Having a place on a pathway does not affect your refugee status, and UNHCR does not charge for any pathway.
