Overview
Immigration is a per-case capability — one visa, one Iqama, one work-permit at a time, per worker, per country. Use it when you have a hire (or transfer, or renewal) that needs the visa route handled and you don't want to figure out the local route yourself. Bundles into Direct EOR engagements when the worker is being hired under our partner entity; stands alone when you're handling employment yourself (Bureau / Managed) but want the immigration cycle off your plate.
