Employing Foreign Nationals

There are several options available to companies looking to hire foreign nationals.

However, first it is vital that a company checks the immigration status of the potential employee. To confirm that a potential employee is eligible to work in the country.

Contact the Global Visas team of consultants and work permit specialists to find out more about hiring foreign workers anywhere from Australia, United Kingdom, South Africa, India to Canada.

Our consultants will be more than happy to ensure that the individual is legally able to remain and work in the particular country.

Work Permit Extention

It is possible for an employer to apply for an extension to an employee's work permit. An example of a circumstance where an extension to a Work Permit may be necessary is where the employee concerned requires a further six months on a visa to complete a certain project.

Contact a Global Visas work permit consultant for further information on opportunities to extend a work permit.

Change of Employment

This is relevant where an employee is fulfilling a role very similar to that performed with their previous employer. Depending on the country a visa application must be lodged by the sponsoring company or by the individual employee.

Contact a Global Visas consultant to find out more about the Change of Employment category.
