Work Travel Visa Support
Our work often involves supporting professionals, employers and business travellers whose international travel depends on the right work permissions being in place.
We regularly handle country-specific work visas, dependent travel, and situations where visa-free travel or ESTA is not suitable, including cases with more complex eligibility or travel history.
Work travel brings specific visa requirements that depend on the destination, the nature of the work, and who's travelling.
We work with professionals, employers, and business travellers to identify what's needed, prepare supporting documentation, and handle applications within the required timelines.
Common work travel scenarios
Company transfers and relocations
Moving employees to work in different countries.
When someone is moving to work in a different country on behalf of their employer, the visa requirements depend on the destination, the nature of the work, and the length of stay. We help prepare the necessary documentation and guide both employer and employee through the application process.
Contract work and project-based assignments
Short-term contracts and specific projects abroad.
Working on a short-term contract or specific project abroad may require a work visa even if the stay is brief. We work out what applies in your situation, collect the supporting documents, and submit the application according to the requirements of the destination country.
Business travel that exceeds visa-free limits
When ESTA or visa-free entry doesn't cover your activities.
Some business activities require a work visa even for short visits, depending on what you're doing and where you're going. If ESTA or visa-free entry doesn't cover your situation, we help determine what does and prepare the appropriate application.
Eligibility questions and complex cases
Non-straightforward situations requiring careful review.
Work visa eligibility can depend on qualifications, job descriptions, employer sponsorship, salary thresholds, or previous immigration history. If your situation is not straightforward, we review the requirements, explain what's needed, and help build the supporting case.
Previous refusals or immigration issues
Applications affected by past immigration history.
If you've had a visa refused before, overstayed, or had other immigration issues, future applications may require additional explanation and documentation. We help you address these matters clearly and present your current circumstances appropriately.
Multiple-entry work visas and repeat travel
For work requiring regular travel to the same country.
If your work requires regular travel to the same country, a multiple-entry work visa may be more practical than applying each time. We work out what's available, whether it suits your situation, and handle the application accordingly.
How we work with work travel
Our approach focuses on understanding requirements, coordinating documentation, and managing timelines.
Understanding the requirements
We review the destination country's work visa requirements, determine what applies to your specific situation, and explain what documentation will be needed. This includes understanding job descriptions, employer sponsorship requirements, and any eligibility criteria.
Preparing the application
We collect the necessary documents from both the employer and the employee, complete the required forms, and prepare supporting letters or explanations where needed. This includes coordinating between multiple parties when employer sponsorship is involved.
Managing timelines
Work visa applications have processing times that need to be factored into travel plans. We submit applications with appropriate lead time, track progress, and keep you informed throughout the process so you know what to expect.
Coordinating dependant applications
When family members accompany the main visa applicant, we handle dependant visa applications alongside the principal case. This includes coordinating documentation, timing, and submission for spouses, partners, and children where the visa category permits accompanying family members.
