Football Manager 2008 – Work Permits

I’ve had a number of people email and comment for help obtaining work permits in Football Manager 2008 (generally young South Americans). While there is no perfect way of getting round them totally there are a few things that can be done to help matters along. The ways I have spotted for getting round the annoying inconveniences that are Work Permits are as follows:

1. Your club can have a feeder club from a European country that doesn’t use the work permit rule, you can send the player out on loan to the club and they will gain citizenship after a certain amount of years.

The shortest time to gain citizenship in a country is 3 years, in Belgium and Poland.

Pretty much all the other countries take 5 years, except for Spain, which takes 4 years.

2. You can leave the player in your reserves until he gains citizenship (which will take 5 years).

3. A sneaky way of getting past the work permit problem is to offer the player another contract, as soon as they join you. About 60% of the time the player will be granted a work permit, even though they had only just been denied one. Cheeky, cheeky!

Failing all that. Try and find foreign players who have a European nation as a second nationality. These players do not require work permits!

Hope that helps.
