I have a Master’s degree, and want to apply for PhD. I want to find a position during the gap year. It is also possible to do 2 years. But I am not in USA or Canada. So, How do I find a research assistant position? Is it possible for unpaid job to get an visa?

Note that this is an exact duplicate of a question in academia. I answered the first half of the question regarding academics. Answers here should focus on the issue of visas for unpaid jobs.– RoboKarenOct 24, 2016 at 4:26

3There are severe limits to 'unpaid' jobs in the United States. We have a long bitter, tragic and complicated history with the concept. I seriously doubt you will even find an unpaid job that lasts a year, much less a visa for such.– ouflak ♦Oct 24, 2016 at 6:39

1@ouflak actually, if the work is typically unpaid, it can be done in visitor status. But since research assistants are typically paid, they require a visa type that allows employment, even if they have an unpaid position.– phoogOct 24, 2016 at 9:30
