Business Immigration Services

Shortage of skilled workers and globalization are increasingly leading companies to recruit foreign employees and to deploy staff across borders throughout the group. The residence and labour law regulations are complex and multi-layered. In addition, access to labor markets is highly regulated worldwide. Due to increased compliance requirements and bureaucratic hurdles, the deployment of employees in Germany or in the target country can not only be delayed but can also result in sensitive risks and penalties for companies. For illegal foreign employment, both the employer and the employee are liable with market access restrictions, fines or entry bans for the employee.
