Visa & Job Placement

Visa & Immigration Status for Physicians

Doctors Cross Borders assists physicians from other countries in obtaining the necessary visa status to practice in Florida by providing comprehensive support throughout the immigration and employment process. The organization guides doctors in compiling and submitting all required documentation for visa applications, connects them with experienced immigration attorneys, and helps them understand which visa options—such as the Conrad 30 Waiver for J-1 visa holders—may be available under Florida’s new "Live Healthy" initiative.

Additionally, Doctors Cross Borders works directly with hospitals to facilitate job placement and ensure that employment offers align with visa requirements, making the transition for international physicians as smooth as possible. This coordinated approach helps foreign-trained doctors secure both legal work status and hospital sponsorship, enabling them to practice medicine and address physician shortages in Florida.
