Which visa does your team need?

VisaUsually used for
Business visaSite visits, surveys, tenders and project meetings, where the country allows it
Work visa or permitWorking on site, usually sponsored by the employer or main contractor in that country

Rules differ by country and by the traveller's nationality. We confirm the right visa for each trip before anything is submitted.

Keeping projects on schedule

Work permits for site staff can take weeks and often need documents from both your company and the client. We plan applications around your mobilisation dates and flag anything that could cause a delay early.

Qualifications and legalisation

Many countries ask for degree certificates or professional qualifications to be legalised before a work permit is issued. We handle document legalisation in-house, so there's no second supplier to chase.

Documents often needed

  • Passport with enough validity and blank pages
  • Invitation or sponsorship letter from the client or local employer
  • Employment letter and copy of the contract
  • Qualifications, legalised where required
  • Medical certificates, where the country asks for them

We give you an exact checklist for each destination and traveller.

How we help

  • Confirm the right visa for each destination and each traveller
  • Prepare forms and check invitation and support letters before submission
  • Arrange document legalisation in-house when a country asks for it
  • Handle group applications with one point of contact for your team
  • Keep you updated until passports are back with you
