In job listings on stackoverflow ,I see so many foreign jobs where Visa Sponsor is written.

But I have read some where that most foreign jobs are only open to those who already have permission to work in that country.Very few job openings are there which are available to those in need of a work permit.How true is that?

So everywhere where Visa Sponsor is written in StackOverflow jobs are they really open to those who doesn't have work permit.And will those companies help to provide Visa to work in their country?

The rules vary by country but generally getting a visa/work permit (different countries use different terminology) for a foreign worker is a slow and beauracractic process that is not gauranteed to succeed. In many situations there is also a legal requirement to preffer candidates who already have the right to work freely in the country.

So in most cases even if the company is in general prepared to sponsor visas/work permits they are unlikely to do so unless you are significantly better than the candidates who already have the right to work freely in the country.

I guess if the say they are willing to sponsor a Visa then the answer is yes when the right person comes along.

How much to sponsor a person for a Visa? Not a lot in terms of costs of recruitment.
