Start with the country where you trained. Then pick a country that is hiring.
The rules depend on your passport and where you earned your nursing license. A nurse from the Philippines and a nurse from Kenya do not have the same options. Choose your country below — or skip ahead if you already know where you want to work.

Each page shows which countries are hiring nurses from there, which official programs are still open, and how long a typical move takes.

If you already know the country, open its jobs and notes. We only mark a job as visa sponsorship when the employer confirmed it — not because the ad says so.
United States
Visa sponsorship jobs, clearly labeled
Thousands of hospital and clinic jobs. Look for the ‘Sponsorship confirmed’ label — it means we’ve confirmed the employer will actually sponsor your visa, not just that the ad says so.

Learn German, get licensed, then start work
Germany has official government programs (like Triple Win) that pay for your German lessons and help transfer your nursing license. Most people spend 6–12 months on German before starting the job.

NHS hospitals that hire from abroad
Many NHS hospitals sponsor international nurses — we label the ones confirmed to be hiring from overseas right now. Note: the UK restricts recruiting from some countries; we’ll tell you if yours is affected.
Browse United Kingdom jobs →Saudi Arabia & Gulf
Hiring through official government programs
Most Gulf jobs come through official hiring drives, and pay often includes free housing. Before you accept, we show you the contract details that matter: housing, overtime pay, and your right to keep your passport and leave.

Register as a nurse first, then apply
Public and private hospitals hire international nurses. Your first step is registering with the Irish nursing board (NMBI) — once that’s moving, employers can sponsor your work permit.
Browse Ireland jobs →Australia & New Zealand
Strong demand for experienced nurses
Hospitals here actively hire from abroad, especially for ICU, theatre, and aged care. You’ll register with the nursing board (AHPRA or NCNZ) as part of the process — employers often help.

Step 1
Choose your country
Official programs, wait times, and recruitment rules depend on where you trained. Start there so you see doors that are actually open to you.
Step 2
Read the real requirements
Language tests, nursing licenses, and who is allowed to recruit you matter more than a “visa available” line in a job ad.
Step 3
Apply at the hospital, not through a fee
JibJob links you to the hospital or clinic application. Walk away if someone charges you a placement fee, holds your passport, or promises a guaranteed visa.
Step-by-step country guides
