Working in Houston is simple if you’re a US citizen but if you are a British or Australian national, an agency may be able to secure a work visa but the specific type will change depending on which role you’re travelling to Houston to work for. All information on these visas can be found on the US embassy website and it is best to seek advice from your future employer because the US are renowned for being strict on their immigration policies.
As one of the largest cities in the US, Houston is a great place for work and life with an incredibly diverse culture. While the humid and high temperatures can take some adjusting to, the city boasts some of the best schools and medical centres in the world. It is necessary to have a car to travel around the city as it is so large, but beware of rush hour traffic!
With a firm base in Houston, we have a genuine understanding of what it takes to work in this city.
