noun

die Arbeitserlaubnis, -se

work permit

Ein offizielles Dokument, das zeigt, dass eine Person in einem Land legal eine Stelle annehmen und dort tätig sein darf.

The German word "Arbeitserlaubnis" is a noun that means "work permit". It is a compound word made up of "Arbeit" (meaning "work") and "Erlaubnis" (meaning "permission" or "authorization"). A "Arbeitserlaubnis" is typically required for non-citizens to legally work in a country.

Similar words in German include "Berechtigung" (authorization) and "Arbeitserlaubnisnachweis" (proof of work permit). The difference is that while "Berechtigung" is a general term for permission, "Arbeitserlaubnis" specifically refers to the authorization to work, particularly in a legal context.
