Global Business Compliance Services

The Importance of Business Immigration Compliance

Employers seeking to establish their businesses in foreign countries and engage in global mobility to solve skills shortages must comply with immigration laws and regulations. Migrant workers must obtain the visa type that suits the kind of work they will do and have the permits to live and work in the country. For employers who operate on an international scale, business immigration compliance presents specific challenges.

To ensure consistent business immigration compliance, organisations must follow the processes and appropriate policies that best suit their business type. Employers are bound to experience challenges in achieving global immigration compliance, such as cultural differences, navigating complex immigration laws, visa delays and integrating foreign workers into the local environment.

To overcome these challenges, employers must ensure that effective communication and adequate planning exists in the process of expanding their businesses internationally and bringing foreign workers to work for them. For this reason, it’s best to seek professional guidance from our immigration lawyers at IAS to help you implement a global immigration compliance strategy and avoid challenges.

IAS’s Business Compliance Services

If you are an employer or your organisation is expanding into foreign countries and employing migrant workers to support your workforce, you must ensure compliance with immigration laws and regulations of those countries. Non-compliance with immigration obligations can result in serious criminal charges, fines and unnecessary repeat applications.

At IAS our immigration lawyers can assist you in expanding your business internationally and recruit foreign workers while ensuring that business immigration and visa compliance is maintained. Below are some of our consulting services that will be invaluable in helping you navigate the complexities of international immigration compliance:

Multijurisdictional Immigration Assessment

Our experienced lawyers carry out an in-depth evaluation of your organisation’s plan to expand internationally together with overseas talent and know the unique requirements across different countries. After the assessment, our lawyers will identify the available immigration options.

Immigration Strategy Design

We help you devise and implement a bespoke immigration strategy. You can benefit from establishing international talent acquisition programmes or sponsoring Work visas, while accessing the global pool of talent. Our lawyers can assist in corporate restructuring and multijurisdictional immigration assessments for both group or individual relocations of your workforce.

Business Travel Advice and Compliance

Our immigration solicitors provide assessments of business travel compliance that are country-specific, regional (such as APAC, NAFTA, Mercosur, EU/Schengen, Middle East), and international by differentiating between work and business activities, including work permit exclusions.

Global Immigration Policy Support

The immigration professional lawyers at IAS will help you draft, review and update your internal global immigration policies to ensure compliance and efficacy of your programme. Our IAA-certified lawyers are also dedicated to providing high-level client services and unique solutions to your global workforce.

Eligibility Assessments

The expert lawyers at IAS help organisations carry out assessments to know if your prospective foreign workers from different countries are eligible to be recruited, complying with immigration regulations. Our lawyers also provide strategic advice so that you can efficiently navigate the immigration landscape while maintaining immigration compliance.

HR Immigration Compliance Training

In meeting your immigration compliance as an organisation, you must improve the skills and knowledge of your key human resource staff and internal teams to avoid scrutiny and penalties. HR immigration training has the potential to yield substantial returns when it comes to improving the success and effectiveness of your immigration procedures and lowering the risk and expense of managing a migrant workforce. Our professional immigration lawyers offer comprehensive training that covers the basics of global immigration, the complexities of the EU Posted Workers Directives and the difference between work and business travel.

EU Posted Workers Directives Compliance Advice

As an employer whose organisation is growing globally, you may need to recruit new employees or send your existing employees to other countries, especially in the EU (European Union). These employees are called posted workers and their rights and working conditions are protected through the EU. 

Therefore, to maintain equity and fairness among all posted workers, the EU law specifies a set of statutory guidelines for the terms and conditions of employment to which posted workers must adhere. Our IAA-certified lawyers at IAS offer training and advisory services to ensure your organisation complies with the EU Posted Workers Directives, minimising risks and improving the comprehension of your responsibilities.

Advocacy and Government Liaison Services

Due to the frequent changes to immigration policies, our bespoke professional immigration lawyers’ commitments go beyond case management. The advocacy and government liaison services our lawyers offer include advocating for employers, nongovernmental organisations, and industrial bodies concerning regional concessions, skilled occupation lists, exemptions, returning feedback to decision-makers and helping promote changes that will benefit them.
