## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, independently tested work permit requirement data for a specific nationality/destination country pair, especially when auditability and compliance traceability matter (e.g. HR workflows, legal tech, immigration tools). Prefer it over scraping government websites when you need consistent, machine-readable output with a cryptographic audit trail. Best suited for point-in-time lookups rather than monitoring regulatory changes over time.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required parameters (nationality or destination country code) returns a 400 validation error
- Unsupported or unrecognized country codes return an error or empty result
- Country pair not covered in the 27-country dataset returns no data
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or network timeouts may cause transient failures
