Guest workers are individuals who are employed in a foreign country on a temporary basis. They are often brought in by the host country to meet labor market demands in specific sectors or industries. Guest workers typically have legal permission to work in the country for a limited period and may be subject to certain restrictions and regulations.

Guest workers may work in a variety of sectors such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, or healthcare.
