Visa Process

A clear path from first screening to IND decision—without promises of outcomes.

  1. Eligibility screening — passport validity, job-offer status, salary band, and compliance history.
  2. Document preparation — passport, CV, education, offer/contract, and any supporting certificates.
  3. Employer sponsorship — recognised sponsor files with the IND for HSM.
  4. IND review — timelines vary; completeness reduces avoidable delays.
  5. Decision & next steps — residence permit steps, travel, and family applications where relevant.
