International assignments, visa and work permits for expats
Why do companies choose to send their top employees on international assignments? They do so to successfully launch new products or services abroad, expand their business in new countries, or gain a competitive edge. These assignments are often short-term projects, but sometimes they can evolve into long-term immigration for expatriates.
It all begins with selecting the right candidate, discussing compensation and benefits, considering family members accompanying the employee, applying for necessary visas and work permits, and planning relocation and orientation. All of these activities require careful preparation and organization.
Want to send your talent on an international assignment? We can help.
Typical reasons for an international assignment include the following:
- Intra-company transfers to fill vacancies.
- Technology transfer to the client’s premises.
- Market research prior setting up a subsidiary company.
- Introduction of new products or services.
- Others purposes.
Once a candidate is selected, it is crucial to secure the necessary visas and permits. Our team of experts will guide you through the requirements and processing times, which can vary by country.
Key considerations to address before the assignment include:
- Duration and location of the assignment.
- Company-covered expenses (e.g., relocation, travel, housing, family relocation, car rental, local office, school costs, home visits, etc.).
- Salary, allowances, or benefits offered.
- Employee’s duties and terms of the employment contract.
- Trial period or contract renewals.
- Repatriation plans.
