Those up to the age of 60 may obtain a work visa.

The benefits package includes a non-taxed salary and either housing or the option for a housing stipend. Those who arrive with their work visa finalized receive an allowance for settling in. Annual airfare is provided as well. Tuition is free for up to two children. Local health insurance is fully covered along with worldwide coverage for emergency cases only.
