Employers often need to transfer their domestic employees to a foreign subsidiary/affiliate abroad, and as such, need guidance as to how to obtain the appropriate work permit, entry visas, and residence permits for their expatriate employees and their families. Each country has a different set of rules, requirements, and procedures for allowing individuals to live and work.

Before relocating an employee to another country, it is very important for your company to assess and understand the rules and requirements for obtaining permission for your employee to live, work, and comply with the immigration laws particular to the country of relocation.

Employers are often surprised and frustrated with the rigorous immigration requirements and lengthy processing times of other countries, which is why it is important for employers to obtain all the necessary information up front, before foreign assignments are confirmed. Realistic expectations need to be set for your employee, the foreign entity, and any clients that may be relying on the foreign employee to begin their overseas employment

Because a country's immigration laws and application procedures can be fairly complex, Zulkie Partners can assist employers by providing a detailed process overview in securing your employee's foreign work authorization, as well as facilitate the procurement of the foreign work permit, entry visa, and in some cases, residence permit.
