PRE-LANDING SERVICES
Business Visa
A business visa allows foreign individuals to enter a country for business purposes. It includes criteria like the purpose of the visit, duration of stay, documentation requirements, and potential restrictions. Business visas facilitate international business activities such as meetings, conferences, and negotiations. Specifics vary by country.
Employment Visa
An employment visa is a legal authorization that enables individuals from another country to work in a specific host country. To obtain this visa, an individual usually needs a job offer from an employer in the host country. The visa outlines details such as the purpose of employment, the duration of stay, and any specific conditions related to the work.
Work Permit/Labour Approval Overseas
A work permit or labor pre-approval is a permission granted by the host country before an individual applies for a visa in their home country. It’s a preliminary step where the host country approves the person’s eligibility to work, and this approval is often a prerequisite for obtaining a work visa.
Translation Of Document
The immigration authorities expect crucial documents to be translated to English or translated to their native language. A good translation is essential to safeguard the integrity and legal sanctity of the documents. Some countries insist on translations from certified translators appointed by the foreign office.
Apostille Of Document
An Apostille is a certification of a Document issued by a legal or registered authority in India. If a document is Apostilled it shows that the document is verified and it is legal to use in the country to which it is Apostilled. For each country there is a different Apostille.
Legalization Of Document
Legalization is a more stringent certification of a Document issued by a legal or registered authority in India. If the destination country is not part of the Hague nations, then there is one more step involved in addition to 3-step attestation process. This additional step involves verification from the embassy of the destination country.
Police Clearance Certificate
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is required when an Indian Passport holder applies for Employment or a Long-term visa to certain countries. PCC is a result of a background check by the police and certifies the no-criminal record with the Indian police.
Re-issuance Of Vital Records
When an Indian Passport holder applies for Employment or a Long-term visa, some countries demand recently issued original certificates (say, issued within 6 months) to verify vital records like Birth / Marriage / Degree Certificate, etc. Therefore, these certificates have to be re-obtained from the original authority that issued them.
CONSULAR VISA ASSISTANCE IN INDIA
This service involves collecting basic information, documents and background of the case and analyze if the candidate meets the basic eligibility criteria. If eligible, we proceed with the next steps of preparing consular forms, drafting support letter, seeking appointments and handholding the application process until adjudication of immigration petition.
POST-LANDING SERVICES
Town Hall Registration
This service is most often the first post landing & mandatory compliance. When planning on living in a country full time, one needs to register at their local town hall as a new resident. This registration of their stay address is a very vital first step towards achieving further immigration compliances.
Resident Permit Application Overseas
The residence permit is an official document issued by the government of a country that allows a foreign national to live there. The permit generally contains personal data of the holder, the purpose of their stay, and the validity period of the permit.
Tax Code/ ID Generation Overseas
This service involves collecting relevant information, for submission to the IRS / tax authorities. The tax code is essential for opening a bank account, to pay taxes, to pay social security contributions, and for many essentials required to start life in a new country.
Residential Permit Extension Overseas
The resident permit typically expires concurrently along with the work visas. When the visa is extended in the destination country, there is a need to extend the resident permit as well. In some countries, this extension of resident permit happens automatically while extending the work visa.
Employment Visa Extension Overseas
While working overseas, if the project demands, some countries allow extension of certain types of work visas. This extension may be granted in the destination country after validating tax payments, police verification and other required justifications.
Posted Worker Notification Overseas
The EU’s Posted Worker Directive requires companies to report where individuals from one Member State are working in another Member State. The requirements vary by country, but in general the posting of workers requires a two-stage process for Employers.
