    The FM-3 does NOT give you permission automatically to work. It only gives you permission to stay in the country for ~360 days, as opposed to the normal tourist visa which I believe allows for 180 days. There is a separate process to obtain working papers, specific to one profession. The FM-3 on its own is only a residency permit.
