Visas
Getting the right to work in Europe for a sales job
- The UK, the Netherlands and Ireland publish who can bring you in. These pages list the employers on those lists with sales roles open now: UK, the Netherlands and Ireland.
- Elsewhere in the EU, a skilled job offer at or above the country's salary threshold can bring an EU Blue Card, which every EU country except Denmark and Ireland runs; most countries also keep a work permit of their own.
- The employer applies, or applies with you. Whether a given role supports a visa is its call; when a posting does not say, ask the recruiter before you apply.

Questions
Sales jobs in Europe
Which European countries have the most sales jobs?
On this board today, United Kingdom (5,818), Germany (3,659), France (1,788), counting the roles each employer ties to that country. Roles open to every country, 496 of them, can also be taken from anywhere in Europe.
Are there remote sales jobs in Europe?
Yes. Of the roles tied to a European country, the most remote ones are open in United Kingdom (815), Germany (700), Spain (271); a remote seat usually still asks you to live in the country or region it covers, for its customers' hours and its payroll. Another 481 remote roles take applicants from any country.
Can Americans or Indians get sales jobs in Europe?
Yes, when the employer can give them the right to work. In the EU, a skilled job offer at or above the country's salary threshold can bring an EU Blue Card (every EU country except Denmark and Ireland runs it); the UK needs a sponsor licence (UK sales jobs at licensed sponsors), the Netherlands a recognised sponsor (Dutch sales jobs at recognised sponsors) and Ireland an employment permit (Irish sales jobs at employers issued permits). Roles that sell across a region are the ones employers most often fill from abroad.
Do I need to speak the local language?
Not for every seat. Companies that run their European sales from one office often hire for several markets in English, while a seat that sells to local customers asks for their language and says so in its title or requirements. Each country's page counts the roles that name a local language.
