Obtaining a work permit for foreign nationals involves complex documents, interactions with multiple institutions, and strict deadlines. HR departments lose weeks navigating this process, risking costly rejections or delays:
- Full Eligibility Analysis
- Declaring vacant positions at AJOFM
- Preparation and Verification of All Documentation
- Tracking the process until the permit is obtained
- Submitting the Application to the General Inspectorate for Immigration
- Regular Notifications on Status and Deadlines
- The IGI Portal is very cumbersome and complicated.
We transform the complex process into a simple experience for you. With over 20 years of experience in immigration, we know exactly what documents are needed, how to complete them, and the optimal steps for quickly obtaining permits.
