It's based on a number of things not just his international apps. The transfer fee, his previous playing record in Belgium, age etc.

Having played a certain number of internationals for a highly ranked team guarantees the permit. Lacking that we'll need to make a case for his eligibility. The fact that he's been called up recently for a team ranked 4th (?) In the world, won the Belgian player of the year award, and is commanding a significant fee should provide sufficient justification.
Not hugely relevant I wouldn't think. That's why he had to wait for a visa to come for the medical.

Colombia ranked 8th in the world, so needs to have played 30% of national games in the two years. I don't know how many games Colombia have played in that time, but he appears to have played a part in two of them.
As [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION] says, PB doesn't anticipate any major problems. He talked about other factors also coming into play - how regularly Izquierdo played for his previous club, the league that they were in, and even the transfer fee and wages paid. I don't think that there's anything to be overly anxious about, and everyone at the club seems pretty relaxed about it.

I do not see how the size of the fee should be any criteria. If we wished to speculate £50m on a 18 year old that is no concern of the government as I thought the major criteria was is similar available from this country if not a work permit is granted if there is it will be refused.
Immigrants need to be suitably qualified to do the job they are employed to do.....same in any industry. It's just applied criteria.
Newcastle have picked up Joselu from Stoke, who in turn seem to have collected a Better Baldock on loan from PSG:-

Thing is, Perez wants to go back to Deportivo, he's not interested in staying in this country. We talk about not wanting a player who is only here for the money, well that's what we would have if we got Perez.

I thought since he has been playing in Europe for a couple of years it might negate the need for a new work permit.
I mean, honestly, what's the point of being in the EU if they can't sort out something as simple and straight forward as this?
Bringing in players from outside the EU after Brexit is going to change?
.......OK, whatever................
