[All Job Applications not working 100% of the time]

This could be due to the issue that unlockables don’t stay enabled each time you load the game. Some stay, others like Loan Restrictions and work permits do not and have to be reapplied each time the game is loaded.

As I stated the unlockable was at least visibly applied constantly. I did test unapplying and reapplying it and had the same issue. However I didn’t try this before I applied for the Regensburg job only after the application was sent so I don’t know if that makes any difference. Either way the unlockable works to a certain degree because I could get jobs at clubs bigger and in higher leagues than Regensburg but they weren’t expected to be promoted like Regensburg were.

@Mathie You are quite right, there is a problem. That's why the bug is still open and not marked as resolved. We're not trying to hide from that fact and we try and be as open and transparent as we possibly can be.

The issue here isn't a fault with the functionality. The functionality aspect of the work permit application process is working correctly. The issue in question is a cosmetic issue which shouldn't be appearing which makes these transfers seem attainable. This is why my first advice was the following: You can still find out if a player is likely to get a work permit by asking the agent, scouting the player or using the player search filters beforehand. Using the following advice should rule out players who are likely to not obtain a work permit.

@KGilchrist99 I understand what you're saying - I get frustrated at times too. Especially after Brexit, I had to adapt my managerial style just like many others have done so. Hopefully my explanation above also explains this for you.

Thanks but I don’t need advice or an explanation, if you look at the thread I created I give you evidence that in most cases it’s literally impossible to sign players who require work permits and there’s no work around that by scouting or using the player search filters or even by asking the agent which isn’t even a feature on the Xbox edition.
Yes you can the first 2 of them methods to see if a player is eligible for a work permit or not if you’re a club not based in Britain, but if you are it’s literally impossible to sign a player who needs a work permit unless you pay both the required transfer fee AND the required wage, I have tested this and I also stated it in my thread.
This means that unless you have a large transfer budget you simply cannot sign a player who requires a work permit. Impossible for smaller clubs, impossible to sign free agents and also impossible to sign players on loan. There is no filter or method of scouting to get around it.

I am also having the same issue and have done ever since the Xbox edition of FM22 has been out. Desmond I would really like to know the outcome of the dev team looking into the issue last December as this bug has ruined many saves for me meaning I can only choose certain teams to manage and certain players to sign if I want to have a non-limited experience. I appreciate that work permit rejections are part of the game but when every single application gets rejected it’s a bit of a joke.
