Immigration Work Permit Services

Immigration-Work-Permit-Services-Header

Streamline the business immigration process.

Are you lost in a sea of work permit processing requirements?

Even the most straightforward immigration regimes can be difficult to understand, never mind the parameters of a multi-layered immigration scheme.

Work permit immigration processes are complex—but navigating them doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re a company or individual, we blend a personalized approach with comprehensive coverage and modern technologies to help simplify the immigration process.

Here’s how:

Comprehensive work permit services into over 170 countries worldwide

Whether you are running a multi-jurisdictional immigration program or need assistance in a particular country or region, Fragomen can help you seamlessly manage the movement of your workforce. We offer a full range of work permit and authorization services to help you comply with immigration regulations in more than 170 countries worldwide.

Our immigration work permit services include guidance on:

    • Application preparation and filing for temporary work and residence permits, entry clearances, entry visas and other immigrant matters
    • Visa issuance assistance
    • Entry and departure procedures
    • Successful security and medical clearance processing
    • Complex cases, including advocacy before government agencies
    • Advice on dependent and family member visa processing, ability to work matters, student-related matters and maintenance of status

Making the complex simple

We assign a designated team of experienced professionals to every case and every client who:

    • Take the time to understand you, your business objectives and your immigration goals
    • Break down complicated immigration processes into clear, manageable steps
    • Communicate openly and frequently with internal stakeholders and applicants throughout the immigration process
    • Build trusted partnerships and provide you with tailored support

Immigration is a very personal process. If you’re the one embarking on this journey, your Fragomen team will:

    • Guide you and your family through every step of the process
    • Explain the immigration requirements of your new country in a way that is easy to understand
    • Prepare you for your role in the immigration process
    • Make sure you know exactly what you need to do to get you and your family to your new home as quickly as possible
    • Keep you informed about where you are in the process—even when we’re just waiting for government responses

Personalized support for senior executives and leaders

We appreciate the unique requirements, pressures and aggressive timelines that often accompany the relocation of senior executives and their families.

Fragomen offers personalized support services to meet the specialized needs of client executives and senior management personnel. We’ll work with you to develop tailored protocols for working with your senior executives and leaders, leveraging constant communication, up-to-the-minute knowledge and resources befitting the urgency to enhance the overall experience.

Streamlined immigration work permit management through technology

We combine personalized service delivery with advanced technology to modernize and streamline immigration program management.

Our proprietary worldwide software Fragomen Connect automates many of the steps within the immigration process. It is designed to support the needs of your human resources and mobility teams and your individual employees. The system eases the management of your immigration program through simple-to-use features and tools, including:

  • 24/7/365 real-time access to your cases from anywhere in the world
  • Clear milestones so you know case progress at any given moment
