Frequently Asked Questions
What do we as HR need to do from our side?
Generally, when hiring a new employ from abroad, HR would simply forward / upload the work contract and details of the new potential hire to the platform and we would take it from there. We try to limit HR’s role in the immigration process as little as possible and only reach out when absolutely necessary.
How long does the process normally take?
Depending on the country of origin, it can be as quick as a few weeks but also take a few months. Our specialist assigned to your company will provide insights and advise on timing in the event that you have potential candidates to hire. i.e. If you are considering two candidates, one from Egypt and the other, India, our specialist would advise on which case would be faster depending on their local embassy.
Do our HR teams still need to track visa processes via spreadsheets in-house?
HR is able to log into their own company dashboard at any time to view visa cases and progress. We take care in making sure every single task is up to date and clear to understand. HR can simply export reports when needed.
Are you able to FAST TRACK the relocation process?
Yes, in certain cases, a nominal fee is paid to government authorities in what is called a ‘Fast Track Procedure’ and normally costs around €411.
Does Ask Carl handle family relocation?
Yes we do.
Does Ask Carl handle logistics?
We handle all visa-related tasks from paperwork to appointment scheduling however, we do not arrange physical transport and logistics. We do however work closely with partners that do.
Does Ask Carl handle visa/permit changes in the event that employees change jobs or status?
Yes we do. As soon as an employee changes job role, or a considerable change to their salary, we normally review their status in the event that they may require a permit change.
