Our Approach

Our ultimate aim is to get your people in the right place at the right time whilst managing your business expectations. However,

our approach also involves a focus on mitigating your exposure to the risks of non-compliance, whilst being flexible enough to meet the business and assignee’s needs. In doing our job well, the immigration process can be looked on as a formality that we simply help your assignees to navigate, whilst they (and you) focus on the bigger picture for the business. Our emphasis is on: Acting as a trusted business advisor to your organisation to minimise exposure to financial penalties Minimising the inconvenience and time spent transferring your assignees Keeping your HR teams fully informed at each stage of the process from initiation of a case to completion and being on hand for any follow-up queries once the assignee arrives in the host country Providing timely visa expiration reminders.
