isuckatfm Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 1. 75% in last 2 years of competitive matches 2. Nation ranked in top 70 on average in last 2 years (rankings are on the World Cup page) If neither of these are met then a good CA should get you one on appeal (good premiership player-ish in scout reports).

Reggae Boyz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Originally posted by rashidi1 in the FM2008 FAQ Explain work permits and how to get them Work Permits are one annoying thing to get around. They are needed in the UK and Ireland. So how do you get your player a work permit? What does he need to get one? Well, if the player you are looking at has one of these nations as either his main nationality or second nationality (basically the EU + some other nations), you're fine: Code: Austria Germany Norway Belgium Greece Portugal Cyprus Holland Slovakia Czech Republic Hungary Slovenia Denmark Iceland Spain Estonia Ireland Sweden Finland Italy Switzerland France,including French Guyana Latvia United Kingdom Guadeloupe Lithuania Martinique Luxembourg Reunion Malta If it isn't, you'll need a permit. First of all, the player's calibre is taken into account. If he's a very good player, has many international appearance's etc then he'll most likely get the permit first time round. If not you can always appeal the decision, and usually get the decision in your favour. If your player was rejected a permit, why did this happen? Well, people are given Work Permits if they are skilled workers. If your target is not much better than British players, there is no reason, in the governments eyes, to go for the foreigner and ignore the English players. Its purpose is to protect the Economy from being saturated with foreigners, and help give the British people jobs, no matter what the industry. I used the UK as the example, but the same would apply to other countries needing a work permit. There are ways to get around this though. First of all, you can get a European feeder club. This means that even without a permit, you can still buy the player. By sending him to the European feeder club for a couple of years, he'll eventually gain EU Citizenship = instant permit. It's a lengthy process, and I'd only recommend it for players who are 21 or under. Each country takes a different amount of time for foreigners to gain EU Citizenship there, so here's the list: 3 years 4 years 7 years 10 years ------- --------- -------- ------- Belgium Spain Denmark Greece Poland Holland Slovenia 5 years ----------------------------------------------------------- Austria French Guyana Italy Renuion Cyprus Germany Latvia Slovakia Czech Republic Guadeloupe Lithuania Sweden Estonia Holland Luxembourg Switzerland Finland Hungary Malta France Iceland Martinique Ireland Portugal As well as loaning out, every so often you can try offering your player a new contract. He will be reapplied for a permit, and if you're lucky, he may be granted one. When searching for a new player too in South American countries, keep an eye out for his other nationalities. Many Brazilians have Portuguese/Spanish, and some Argentineans have Italian as a second nationality. If you find players like this then it means they will get an instant permit. In Spanish-speaking countries (or ex-Spanish colonies) you wait only 2 years to gain citzenship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Should a player who's played in all his nations games in the last two years abd his nation are currently ranked 27th get a work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan,,, Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The work permit is just a way of saying that non-EU countries are better than us because they rule their own countries, not someone who can't even speak the same language as us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel D Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 When I try to offer my WP players a new contract, but they are not yet entitled for a WP, then the game sends me a message that "The Player is denied a WP for singing a new contract". Thing is, after this message, he's still left with his old contract (if I offered him a 4 year deal, he's still left with only 1 year and the same wages). Is this normal? Any way around it?

Yeah that is normal. A player cannot accept a new contract if he is denied a work permit. Try playing him in more games but he may leave on a free at the end of his contract if he is not eligible for one by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
