----------
I don't really have enough time to comment on your sentences one by one. Some of the sentences were quite cluttered and had to be reworded. Now, we have a cleaner composition; ideas are presented in a more structured, logical manner. Also added some facts in #4 -- most countries don't allow foreigners to work unless they have already obtained a working permit/visa.

Read your version & mine aloud, and compare the differences.
Always, always read what you've written aloud -- you'll get a much better idea of how well your wording/compositions flow.

Cheers,
