Permits for Workers You Already Have
Renewals, transfers and departure paperwork for foreign workers already on your team.
Typical appointment: 60 min
Not every employer comes to us for new workers. Some already have foreign staff and need the paperwork kept straight: permits renewed before they lapse, a worker transferred from another employer, someone leaving before their contract ends.
A permit that expires turns a working employee into an illegal one overnight, and the employer carries the consequence — not the worker. Renewals have to be filed while the current permit is still valid.
We track the dates and file in time, whether we supplied the worker or not.

- ✓Expiry tracking and reminders ahead of every deadline
- ✓Renewal file: updated contract, insurance, accommodation and clearances
- ✓Submission and follow-up with the Migration Department
