After the H-1B visa fee hike, these are the best options for Indian workers. Learn the details.

After the H-1B visa fee hike in the US, there are some other excellent options for Indian skilled workers. Let's explore the countries where Indians can go and work.

New fees for H-1B visas in the US have been announced. Companies will now have to pay a fee of $100,000 (approximately ₹8.8 million).

After this decision, hiring foreign workers in the US will become more expensive. This is raising questions among Indian youth: if the US has become an expensive job option, which country can they go to for skilled jobs?

Instead of the US, there are now many countries where skilled workers can easily obtain work visas and offer better salaries and facilities. Let's explore three such countries where Indian skilled workers can work.

Singapore is a promising option for working in Asia. Skilled workers here receive an Employment Pass (EP). Singapore offers excellent job opportunities in banking, IT, marketing, and technology sectors. Furthermore, the salaries are attractive and the standard of living is excellent. The simplified visa process makes working here easy and convenient for Indians.

Being a neighbor of the US, Canada is also an excellent option for skilled workers. Foreign workers easily obtain work visas here under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).

Canada is a good option for those in the IT, engineering, and technical sectors. Workers working in Canada also easily obtain Permanent Residency (PR).

Germany is known as the economic engine of Europe. Germany has a high demand for skilled workers in the manufacturing and engineering sectors. Jobseeker visas are available here, allowing you to stay in the country for six months to search for a job. This visa can be converted into a work visa once you find a job. Furthermore, the EU Blue Card program also allows foreign workers to work in Germany.
