Gaming

Gaming Industry Header

Fragomen has worked with many of the largest games companies across the world. We know that companies in the games industry have demanding business needs, ranging from project schedules to competing for talent, that require thoughtful and timely immigration advice. They expect an efficient and responsive service that is accurate and strategic. They also expect their business partners to understand that the obvious solution might not be the best answer in the long term.

Our knowledge of this sector enables us to provide clients with guidance on best practices in immigration policies and programs, as well as on the involvement of in-house resources in the handling of immigration and global mobility matters. We understand the priority our games clients will place on high quality and speedy services and the concerns of their foreign national employees.

Clients rely on us for our:

Deep experience

We represent hundreds of games industry clients and are deeply familiar with the immigration issues they may be facing. As a firm, we focus exclusively on immigration and have provided immigration services for over 70 years, giving us profound insight into immigration and global mobility matters. We think strategically about visa options and handle the immigration logistics, so we can get people where they need to be, when they need to be there.

Speed they need

We understand that the candidate experience and responsiveness are critical for employees that require immigration permission. We routinely work with games clients to undertake pre-hire assessments with a quick turnaround to ensure offers are made in a timely fashion to critical new hires.

Global reach

Our firm has over 60 offices worldwide and offers support in more than 170 countries. We can utilize this strong global network to help clients plan moves or business trips for their employees. We know that the games industry often has a highly mobile workforce with hubs in different countries. We can help to determine the best location for people depending on their immigration status.

Consular support

We work with our consular practice team around the world to support our games clients, who may require expedited visa appointments or advice about applications at consular posts abroad. We can liaise directly with consulates to place expedited requests.

Unparalleled knowledge

Thanks to our wide reach and representation of games sector clients, we are able to benchmark industry trends with colleagues around the world. Our firm also monitors changes to immigration regulations and legislation, so we can keep our games clients updated on the latest developments.

Innovative technology

With our worldwide immigration case management portal and mobile app, our games clients will always have 24/7 access to key information and analytics.
