Hi Everyone,

My Husband and I are currently applying for a bridging open work permit and while I was filling up the questionnaires, I was stuck with the question of Do I Have a Written Job Offer? What does the written job offer mean? I am currently on parental leave because I just gave birth last April but I am still connected with my company.

Thanks,

Simply answer with 'no'. The BOWP does not require a job offer, as it is an OPEN work permit and therefore not bound
to a specific employer.
