i dont think that eu countries gives work permit before you find a job or some agreement so do i need to be employed or first have an agreement with a company to get work permit or i need to have a work permit first ?? how can o get the work permit before applying job in eu
Each country is different, but generally speaking at the current time, you need a work permit before you get a job, as no airline that I am aware of is sponsoring foreign pilots to come fly for them. How can you get a work permit? In many cases it is quite difficult, and each country has its own rules, and even then, your work permit will be limited to the country that issued the permit. What I am trying to say is that your chances are very slim.

Also, a large percentage of airlines these days are asking for an EU/EEC passport as a requirement to apply, aka you need citizenship.
