Overseas job search term

Offer letter

An offer letter is a written communication from an employer setting out proposed terms for a job, often before or alongside a formal contract.

What to know in practice

Read the role, employer identity, location, pay terms if stated, start conditions, and any deadline carefully. The exact contents and legal effect vary.

Verify the sender using contact details found independently on the employer's official site. An offer letter does not itself guarantee a visa or permission to work.
